bash-3.0 build on OSF1/4.0f fails

[Emmet Ford]

Attempts to build bash-3.0 on OSF1/4.0f yield the following compiler errors:

rm -f y.tab.o

Installing bison-2.0 did not affect the outcome. Here are my configure 
switches:

./configure --enable-alias \
--enable-array-variables \
--enable-bang-history \
--enable-brace-expansion \
--enable-debugger \
--enable-directory-stack \
--enable-dparen-arithmetic \
--enable-extended-glob \
--enable-help-builtin \
--enable-history \
--enable-job-control \
--enable-multibyte \
--enable-process-substitution \
--enable-progcomp \
--enable-prompt-string-decoding \
--enable-readline \
--enable-select \
--without-gnu-malloc

That's on an AlphaServer 4100 w/4 400MHz cpus, Tru64 4.0F.

2.05b builds just fine (which means that my personal problem is solved) 
and it passes all tests (make tests) when ./configure is run without 
benefit of  --without-gnu-malloc.

If there is any other information you would like me to furnish, I will 
be happy to do so.
