Yeah, parse.c and parse-scan.c were cvs-removed, and now they're
touched back in existance by gcc_update.  As you noticed, it's
due to this change:

2001-09-04  David.Billinghurst <David.Billinghurst@riotinto.com>

	* gcc_update: (files_and_dependencies) Add gcc/java/parse.c
	gcc/java/parse-scan.c and gcc/java/keyword.h to list of files to
	touch.

Inspected or committed by people on the CC-line.  I reverted
that change locally, and things now work.

To the people in charge: Please consider reverting that change.
You may notice that no other .y is mentioned in gcc_update...
No cvs-deleted file should be listed in gcc_update.  Perhaps
there should be a list of files to *delete* when some files
change...

BTW, I don't see Richard Sandiford listed in MAINTAINERS.  An
accidental omission from the write-after-approval-list, I guess.
