If mpfr 3.1.3 requires aclocal then there is a bug in mpfr distribution process. Regarding the 'yacc' related test suite failures, it seems that 'Make' tries to find the .c files before bison generates them. I haven't been able to reproduce this on my machine (fedora 25) with GNU Make 4.1 and GNU Bison 3.0.4 -- Mathieu Lirzin GPG: F2A3 8D7E EB2B 6640 5761 070D 0ADE E100 9460 4D37
