Bingo! Thanks for the bug report.  The test is wrong: it should put the
headers into BUILT_SOURCES, as documented in
<http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Yacc-and-Lex>.

Does the patch below fix the failure for you?  OK to apply?

Cheers,
Ralf

        * tests/yacc6.test: Add the generated headers to `BUILT_SOURCES'
        as documented in the manual.  Fixes parallel make failure.
        Report by Dieter Jurzitza.
        * THANKS: Update.
