Finally had time to make some tests, and now i've got it:)
When i set AM_YFLAGS to -dt it doesn't distribute a header, probably
because it's searching for -d to be alone.
When i set AM_YFLAGS = -d -t, it works.
... I agree the documentation might be clearer about this.
Ralf, what about the attached patch (for 'yacc-work' and 'maint')?
Tested with make pdf ps dvi html MAKEINFOFLAGS=--no-split. The
output in all forms looked fine.
OK with nits addressed.
Thanks!
Ralf

@code{AM_YFLAGS} is usually used to pass the @option{-d} option to
@command{yacc}. Automake knows what this means and will automatically
adjust its rules to update and distribute the header file built by
-...@samp{yacc -d}. What Automake cannot guess, though, is where this
+...@samp{yacc -...@footnote{please note that @command{automake} recognizes

+...@samp{-t -d}.}.
Generally, @footnote's should be used sparingly, as they disrupt the
flow of reading and don't render well in the info output. I guess it's
acceptable here though.
Please use @option for denoting the options here.
+What Automake cannot guess, though, is where this
header will be used: it is up to you to ensure the header gets built
before it is first used. Typically this is necessary in order for
dependency tracking to work when the header is included by another
