Hmm, source directory used for a build and then not maintainer-clean'd
perhaps?
If you do the copy without -p then the copy would tend to lose the
timestamps that would show that the gram.c file is out of date.
I suppose "cp -p" would be a bad idea because of permissions issues,
but you could consider replacing the cp with "tar cf - | tar xf -"
to preserve timestamps better.
