looks as if your byacc does not support to "-o" option to specify an
output file. AFAIR mapserver build process is relatively strict bound to
the GNU version of yacc, bison.

A try would be to indentify the line in the generated makefile and
edit it to something like 
byacc -p msyy -d mapparser.y > mapparser.c
