I finally got Bison 1.875 installed on the alpha here, and tried running
regression tests:
============== removing existing temp installation ==============
============== creating temporary installation ==============
============== initializing database system ==============
============== starting postmaster ==============
running on port 65432 with pid 2974
============== creating database "regression" ==============
CREATE DATABASE
ALTER DATABASE
============== dropping regression test user accounts ==============
============== installing PL/pgSQL ==============

Success. You can now start the database server using:
/home/chriskl/pgsql-temp/src/test/regress/./tmp_check/install//home/chriskl/
local/bin/postmaster -D
/home/chriskl/pgsql-temp/src/test/regress/./tmp_check/data
or
/home/chriskl/pgsql-temp/src/test/regress/./tmp_check/install//home/chriskl/
local/bin/pg_ctl -D
/home/chriskl/pgsql-temp/src/test/regress/./tmp_check/data -l logfile start
