Bison is the GNU equivalent of yacc. It is available at most archive sites
which have the GNU distribution. I have also found it to be one of the
most easily ported of the GNU applications. You could either get your 
hands on that or alternatively in the Makefile define it to actually use
yacc. At some point back I seem to remember being told that the AIX yacc
had a problem with the gcc source but I have no idea if that is still the
case. We have gcc ported here internally, but I didn't do the port so I
really don't know whether there are any particular problems. Good Luck!
