Ah, I didn't notice cfparse.c was supposed to be generated locally
because there was already a cfparse.c in the b2 distribution, and the
make process did not attempt to rebuild it.

Once I saw your message, I did try to remove the original cfparse.c and
the make then did rebuild it, but the compile still failed because I was
using bison 1.25, which appears to be the same version you used.

I upgraded my bison to the latest version, 1.33, removed cfparse.c and
recompiled and this time it worked fine.
