 Makefile.am:
-# This rule overrides the Automake generated .y.c rule, to ensure that the
-# parse-datetime.c file gets generated in the source directory, not in the
-# build directory.
+# The Automake generated .y.c rule is broken: When executed in a VPATH build,
+#   - The .c file gets generated in the build directory. But since it requires
+#     special tools to rebuild it, we need to distribute it in the tarballs,
+#     and by the GNU Coding Standards
+#     <https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Makefile-Basics.html>
+#     the file should be generated in the source directory.
+#   - The #line numbers in the .c file refer to a nonexistent file once it
+#     has been moved from the build directory to the source directory. This
+#     leads to error if 'lcov' is used later.
+# Additionally, here we assume GNU Bison and therefore don't need the ylwrap
+# script.
+# Therefore we override this rule.
