Just for clarification: Trying to build the source currently in sid
(1.0.15-2.1) on sid _also_ fails. As already diagnosed by Richard
going from byacc 20070509-1.1 to 20080826-1 is exactly what triggers
the bug. Perhaps there is a regression in byacc?

As a hotfix for dovecot could switch to bison instead of byacc. - A
simple switch of the b-d will do the trick.

On a sidenote dovecot's ./configure prefers bison over byacc, this is
why dovecot built successfully on sparc.
