This turns out to be a problem of the build environment. Firebird 
creates its own btyacc (I did not yet verify whether Debian's btyacc has 
the same problem), which creates a broken parser inside qemu, but the 
same binary creates a correct parser when run in aranym, so the current 
build problem is very likely a bug in the qemu version used on that 
build host.
qemu on that host is built directly from the current upstream git 
revision, it is not an installed debian package.
