Bison failure - shift/reduce conflicts

[Ryan . Worthington]

Good morning GNUrus, 

I'm trying to compile Kerberos on a Sun box running 2.7. At this time, upgrade of the OS isn't an option, so I'm patching and installing tools as fast as I can. 
Unfortunately, I've run in to a problem with Bison and some shift/reduce errors. I'm also not a programmer, so I'm unsure how to even begin to repair this problem. Here is the output I'm getting from make. 

making all in lib/kadm5/unit-test...
making all in krb524...
making all in kdc...
making all in kadmin...
making all in kadmin/cli...
bison -y  getdate.y
conflicts: 4 shift/reduce
*** Signal 13
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `getdate.c'
Current working directory /krb5-1.3.5/src/kadmin/cli
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `all-recurse'
Current working directory /krb5-1.3.5/src/kadmin
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `all-recurse'

Any suggestions? Would additional information be helpful? If so, what?

Thank you for your time
