+maintenance, merges etc.), therefore you will have to get the latest
+stable versions of the maintainer tools we depend upon, including:
-- Automake 1.6 or 1.6.1
-
-- Autoconf 2.53a or better
- ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.53a.tar.gz (992 kB)
- ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.53a.tar.bz2 (756 kB)
-
-- Gettext 0.11.3 pre 2 or better

+2. Fetch a recent tarball in:
+ ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/bison/
3. Extract it
4. Override the content of your checkout with the content of this
tarball, i.e.:
- cp -r bison-1.49b/* bison-cvs
+ cp -r bison-1.875c/* bison-cvs
5. Proceed on ./configure && make etc.
