[patch] Compiling tar-1.13.22 with bison-1.29

[Adrian Bunk]

Hi Paul,

I've found a problem when compiling tar-1.13.22 with bison-1.29 installed:

<--  snip  -->

...
checking for bison... bison
checking version of bison... v. ?.??, bad
...

<--  snip  -->


The problem is that the output of "bison --version" changed:

<--  snip  -->

$ /usr/local/DIR/bison-1.28/bin/bison --version
GNU Bison version 1.28
$ bison --version
bison (GNU Bison) 1.29
