If gram.c is older than gram.y, pgbison copy parse.h by custom build
step. But it is newer, pgbison is skipped.

I see the same problem in PostgreSQL 8.2.4. parse.h does not exist in
"src/include/parser" directory.

% tar ztvf postgresql-8.2.4.tar.gz | grep -w parse.h
-rw-r--r-- pgsql/pgsql 16540 2007-04-20 14:13 postgresql-8.2.4/src/backend/parser/parse.h

gram.c is newer than gram.y in PostgreSQL 8.2.4.

% tar ztvf postgresql-8.2.4.tar.gz | grep -w gram.\[cy\] | grep -v plpgsql
-rw-r--r-- pgsql/pgsql 237506 2006-11-06 07:42 postgresql-8.2.4/src/backend/parser/gram.y
-rw-r--r-- pgsql/pgsql 1040559 2007-04-20 14:13 postgresql-8.2.4/src/backend/parser/gram.c
