If you did just upgrade bison, I'd suggest "make maintainer-clean" and
then rebuild.  I do not think the Postgres makefiles are able to detect
that you installed a new bison, so they won't automatically re-run bison
to build new output files.  We normally ship the bison output files as
part of distribution tarballs, which is why "make clean" or even "make
distclean" doesn't flush 'em.
