Great, that fixed it, thanks.  Now I get the same kind of error for 
r.weight, and to fix it, following your model, I had to add semicolons 
as you did to all the rules in the first ~250 lines - then it compiled 
fine.

Yeah, my other systems are compiling this fine too.  This one, however, 
has:
bouteloua:/usr/local/src/grass> bison --version
bison (GNU Bison) 1.75
Written by Robert Corbett and Richard Stallman.

It's installed by the "testing" release of Debian, so perhaps it's 
"coming soon" to all sorts of releases, I dunno...  I checked, but 
don't see anything in the man page re: this issue changing, and all I 
see in the info pages is that sure enough they want a semi-colon at the 
end of each rule.

My Mac is "way back" at version 1.35, the solaris machine has 1.28.  
I've got (other) big problems compiling the current release on solaris, 
but will leave that for another day...

Thanks a lot...
