What version of bison do you have?  I have bison 1.35 and it works.  The 
docs say that bison 1.28 or later is required, but the docs could be out 
of date.

In any case, you shouldn't have needed bison to build from a release in 
the first place, as we are careful to update time stamps for generated 
files in the release so that end users won't need the generator 
programs.  The gcc-3.4.0 release tar ball looks OK.  The problem could 
be on your end, if you copied the release around, or checked it into a 
source code control system, then you could have modified the timestamps 
accidentally.  Touching plural.c to make it more recent than plural.y 
should fix the problem too, and avoids the need for a bison update.
