Alexandre claims it fails.
I've updated it a bit.  Now it works for me.
Alexandre, can you investigate the change?

I changed it to only configure and build once.

Actually, sometimes bison complains when I run the test and sometimes
it does not.  Weird.

My fault.

Interesting.
Alexandre, how does it fail for you?
I always build in a separate directory, never in srcdir.

Done.
