Thanks for the report, and thanks for the account.  The following patch 
fixes the problem.  I have tested it on your Solaris 9 SPARC system, 
current9s.  I pushed it to branch-2.4.3, branch-2.5, and master.

Also, I have just removed bison-2.4.2.3-cf80e.tar.gz from GNU's alpha 
server.

Subject: [PATCH] tests: fix for newer Sun Studio C++.

Reported by Dagobert Michelsen at
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2010-03/msg00023.html>.
* THANKS (Dagobert Michelsen): Add.
* configure.ac (AC_PREREQ): Set to 2.64 so we get the latest
Autoconf macro for handling the restrict keyword.
* gnulib: Update to latest, which no longer overrides that macro
from Autoconf.
