ftpcmd.y -- syntax error

[Jacques Dejean]

Hello,

I encounter the following error when compiling from source
wu-ftpd-2.6.1-18.src.rpm
wu-ftpd-2.6.2-8.src.rpm.  After reading several mailing lists articles, I
upgraded to
bison 1.875; however, the error continues.

My environment is SuSE Linux 8.2.

The errors are as follows:
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/packages/BUILD/wu-ftpd/src'
gcc  -O2 -march=i486 -mcpu=i686 -I.. -I../support -c -o COPYRIGHT.o

Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.91856 (%build)

The code portion in "ftpcmd.y" is --
    194
    195 cmd_list:       /* empty */
    196     | cmd_list cmd
    197         =       {
    198             fromname = (char *) NULL;
    199             restart_point = 0;
    200         }
    201     | cmd_list rcmd
    202     ;

Any suggestions on the cause of this error would be greatly appreciated.
