Hey, that's a new spelling!  Most people just drop an "l".  ;-)

Try YACC="/usr/local/bin/bison -y".  See "man bison"...

       -y
       --yacc
       --fixed-output-files
              Equivalent  to  -o  y.tab.c;  the  parser  output file is called
              y.tab.c, and the other outputs are called y.output and  y.tab.h.
              The purpose of this switch is to imitate yacc's output file name
              conventions.  Thus, the following shell  script  can  substitute
              for yacc:
 
              bison -y $*
