I am running the same OS.  Just touch backend/parser/gram.c, and
recompile.  Bison is required to compile gram.y, but we supply it as
part of the install.

Hackers, is the gram.c file not new enough in the 6.3.2 tarball?

Apparently not: I note that my recompile rebuilt it too.  (Fortunately
I have bison installed.)  tar says

$ tar tvfz ~postgres/archive/postgresql-6.3.2.tar.gz | grep /gram
-rw-r--r-- pgsql/wheel  398333 1998-04-17 03:00 postgresql-6.3.2/src/backend/parser/gram.c
-rw-r--r-- pgsql/wheel  126012 1998-04-17 03:00 postgresql-6.3.2/src/backend/parser/gram.y

which isn't accurate enough to be helpful, but it looks suspicious.

Bruce, what I usually try to do (but sometimes forget) is to commit the
two files separately, doing a "touch" on gram.c after committing gram.y
and before committing gram.c. That way, there is a significant time
difference between the two files.
