This is a known issue, you can either replace
the line
%name-prefix "pari_"
by
%name-prefix="pari_"
or upgrade to bison 2.4 or later.
Unfortunately bison do not use the C preprocessor so
it cannot be fixed easily.
Do you know an easy fix ?

Note that this only affect GIT users since published tarballs
include parse.c so that users do not need to run bison.

Cheers,
Bill.

Maybe it's a good idea for Configure to check version of bison and issue a warning/error if it doesn't meet the minimum version requirement?
