[GNU Bison 1.875] testsuite: 27 34 failed

[Juan Martin Strupeni]

Hello, I'm trying to install mdbtools and found this bug with Bison.
I'm also a rookie user of linux so don't be afraid of step by set
guide.

I' copied the bison-1.875.tar.gz in /usr/local/bin as root
tar xvfz bison-1.875.tar.gz
./configure
make
make check

Am I doing things wright?

Part of the output of make check here:
---
## ------------------------------------------------- ##
## ERROR: Suite unsuccessful, 2 of 104 tests failed. ##
## ------------------------------------------------- ##
You may investigate any problem if you feel able to do so, in which
case the test suite provides a good starting point.

Now, failed tests will be executed again, verbosely, and logged
in the file testsuite.log.
