configure: error: bison -y is insufficient to compile libpcap.
 libpcap requires Bison, Berkeley YACC, or another YACC compatible with them.

The simple reproducer is:
$ bitbake libpcap -cdevshell
$ bison ./grammar.y

# bison ./grammar.y 
./grammar.y: warning: 38 shift/reduce conflicts [-Wconflicts-sr]
Segmentation fault

I found this error on Ubuntu 12.04, I'm not sure whether other hosts have this issue or not, I tried to use gdb, but doesn't figure out the reason.

I have test this bug on latest oe-core master branch, len(tmp)=409 is ok.
