Here a fresh clone (parent: 16793:cc1657be1ee7 tip) fails while building the
parser:

:
/bin/sh ../../octave/build-aux/ylwrap

I've experimented a bit but I couldn't spot where the offending "-dv" 
came from.
The isolated "--" comes from libinterp/Makefile (L. 9053).

Any suggestions?

Not sure if it has anything to do with it, but when running each of the
following, what versions are they?
bison --version
flex --version
gperf --version
