It uses yacc or bison to process the mapfile parser templates and turn
it into a C file.  

The problem now seems to be that your copy of yacc doesn't like the -o
option... perhaps it's supported only by bison?  I'm surprised that
bison wasn't picked by default by configure.  Can you check if you have
bison on your system and if you do then edit the Makefile to set the
variable YACC to point to bison.
