Are you certain this happens with a clean tree and using sun4u OBJTYPE as well?
Please recheck with hg tip.

The main reason I dislike using the host yacc is simply that it will
pretty much diverge from Plan9's yacc.
And hence I don't trust it to produce a compatible parser in most
cases. For ex. does it produce a proper rc?
