[syslog-ng] syslog-ng-3.5.5 bison: invalid argument `no-yacc' for `--warnings'

[Scot Needy]

One recommendation, update the build doc to add the bison3 dependency. CentOS 6.5  Final still has bison2. Once I did this build worked fine.  

Download Bison 3.0 from GNU.   
rpm -e bison 
build and install bison3. 
update your paths ( updatedb )
build syslog-ng ( make clean; ./configure ; make )
