No, I just did a complete build in a clean directory and it worked for 
me.  I ran bootstrap in the source tree and built in a separate directory.

A possible reason for this failure is that I recently removed 
oct-parse.in.yy.  Now we have oct-parse.yy in the source tree instead of 
generating it from oct-parse.in.yy.  Do you still have a generated 
oct-parse.yy file in the build tree?  If so, remove it and see if this 
problem goes away.
