Comment (by reeskm@…):

 Update: it seems that bison is very sensitive to how your gcc_select is
 set.

 I recently compiled mp-gcc-4.7 on my system for fun. I made it the default
 using "port select gcc set mp-gcc-4.7". It works great until now, when I
 needed to update bison.

 This bug kept occuring despite me setting the portfile to use gcc-4.2
 explicitly or using a command line switch of -configure.compiler=apple-
 gcc-4.2! I was surprised to find that if I set my "port select gcc" back
 to apple-gcc-4.2 the problem went away.

 Oh, my system is a Quad G5 powerpc, for info, running 10.5.8 and the
 latest macports.
