Please describe the problem:
GStreamer 0.10.10 does not correctly detect the installed bison version 1.875d
in Solaris 9. The problem is caused by the letter "d" ín "1.875d".

Other systems may be affected too.

Steps to reproduce:
type ./configure on Solaris 9



Actual results:
checking bison version 1.875d >= 1.35... Bareword found where operator expected
at - line 1, near "1.875d"
        (Missing operator before d?)
Unquoted string "d" may clash with future reserved word at - line 1.
syntax error at - line 1, near "1.875d "
Execution of - aborted due to compilation errors.
no
configure: error: Your bison version is too old, 1.35 or later is required.


Expected results:
checking bison version 1.875d >= 1.35...yes

Does this happen every time?
yes

Other information:
$ which bison
/usr/local/bin/bison
$ bison --version
bison (GNU Bison) 1.875d
