Are you certain this happens with a clean tree and using sun4u OBJTYPE as well? Please recheck with hg tip. The main reason I dislike using the host yacc is simply that it will pretty much diverge from Plan9's yacc. And hence I don't trust it to produce a compatible parser in most cases. For ex. does it produce a proper rc? Cheers, Anselm
