Nothing wrong with time on our system, but still:

The bison package happens to be very sensitive for  (I guess)  slightly 
in the untar process.

This trick helped: just after untar, do in the bison-2.X directory:
touch -t `date +%Y%m%d%H%M` `find -type f`
to give all files exactly the same stamp.

That does the trick!

Thanks for helping me out here.
