The way buildfarm works is that it should always run on a clean set of 
CVS files - i.e. there should no gram.c. We don't even bot6her with 
clean, distclean, maintainer-clean and friends - we simply copy the 
source directory tree for each run. The fact that Darcy's builds don't 
show a call to bison indicates to me that his source dir ( 
/buildfarm/pg-buildfarm/HEAD/pgsql ) might not be clean for some reason 
that is not clear to me.

Darcy, please blow that directory tree away and see if the situation 
recovers.

cheers
