You should do a touch on src/backend/parser/gram.c, and all will be OK.
You can also use bison, but there is no need.

Also, let me say I am totally embarased we can't get the time stamp on
gram.c to be correct in releases.  We may as well just stop trying to
get this right in releases, and force BSD people to use bison.
