I have ;-), but I never use it to install on my sparc-sun-solaris2.[68]
boxes, as I don't install into /usr.

If you use releases and snapshots, yacc/bison should not be required
at all; if you use CVS, you need that, but I have no problem with bison
at all.

bison 1.28 works just fine, as does BSD yacc (unless you want to
build java, as far as I have been told), but Sun yacc probably is
not sufficiently standards compliant?
