My version 1.35 is the default for OpenBSD. I'll try and avoid
upgrading.

It seems it hasn't changed:
$ ls -l lib/getdate.*
- -rw------- 1 dissent dissent 79572 Jun 14 07:57 lib/getdate.c
- -rw------- 1 dissent dissent 995 Jun 14 07:57 lib/getdate.h
- -rw------- 1 dissent dissent 38432 Jun 14 07:57 lib/getdate.y

It's not missing as above. I ran `make realclean', but I
followed it with a `cvs up -d'.

Well it seems that it's failing for another reason. I took a
look through missing (and ylwrap) and couldn't find anything that
looked like the date check that you mentioned. In fact, it seems
missing is being called with --run, which trys to run the command
with no checks at all:
case "$1" in
--run)
# Try to run requested program, and just exit if it succeeds.
run=
shift
"$@" && exit 0
Where do you suppose that check should be?

I'll try and avoid an upgrade, and I'll be sure not to `make
maintainerclean'.
Derek> I have documented the Bison 1.875 requirement in HACKING.
Cool.
