This doesn't happen for me.  Somehow your tarball's parse-gram.y must have 
a later time stamp than parse-gram.c or parse-gram.h.  Is your "make dist" 
setting the time stamps inappropriately for some reason?  If so, perhaps 
we need a dist-hook to fix that.  Or are the time stamps being set 
inappropriately upon extraction from the tarball?
