i wonder if forcing the package to use yacc instead of bison would fix this
...

i had a similar bug in another package and using yacc fixed things up for
me ...

Created an attachment (id=18435) [edit]
a2ps-4.13b-r5.ebuild

Alexander, could you test attached ebuild? It forces you to use yacc
instead of bison -y. However, I cannot commit it immediately 
though I don't have any problem compiling a2ps with this change
because yacc is still marked as unstable on alpha while a2ps-4.13b-r5
is marked as stable.

alpha people: is there any reason you don't change keyword back to
stable? From the ChangeLog it was once commited as stable but after
few weeks it went back to unstable. If there is no serious bug I'd
like to have it stable and then I can commit the change to a2ps. 

Committed.

I think I forgot to close...
