$YACC now seems to be undefined when I do a "make bzImage" and the

"cd" into the indicated directory and run "make" directly.  Once the
default build completes, restarting "make bzImage" from the kernel
source root continues as expected.
Found it.  The main "Makefile" has "MAKEFLAGS += -rR" uncommented as
of 2.6.18-rc1.  The deleted comment about "possibly random breakage"
that used to be just above that line pretty much says it all :-).
I have now applied a patch where YACC= bison is dined in
aicasm/Makefile.
There are no other $(YACC) users in the kernel - the others specify bison
direct.


I propose the following as a global yacc rule; already used in usr/dash in the klibc tree, and which seems to work for both bison and BSD yacc:

quiet_cmd_yacc = YACC    $@
      cmd_yacc = $(YACC) -d -o $@ $<

$(obj)/%.c %(obj)/%.h: $(src)/%.y
        $(call cmd,yacc)


Note that bison seems to make smaller code than yacc, so I definiteily think we should default to bison over yacc.
