Thanks for your feedback, I'll toroughly check this possibility.

However, I don't think I have byacc installed, only Bison. To be sure I 
have already tried downgrading from the current 1.875 to 1.75, 1.50 and 
even 1.35, without any benefit, unfortunately...

If I can steal some more seconds of your precious time, are there any 
other infrastructural applications which may be responsible for the 
wrong "error: syntax" string? Usually I keep my system up to date, but 
perhaps something I have is too much ;) up to date for building gcc (as 
happens for the autoconf machinery, I mean)

Thanks in advance, Paolo.
