Sounds like you didn't install yacc.  Yet Another Compiler Compiler
is necessary to compile the parser file.  Don't know how it works on
debian, but in Red Hat it's its own package, the 5.1 version being
byacc-1.9-6.  

Let's head the next error off at the pass.  If you're using yacc, you 
also need lex.  But lex is proprietary, so GNU systems use Bison. 

And the one after that.... make sure when you go to finish compiling
this monster you have plenty of swap space configured; the cc1 run for
mySql ran 31MB....
