I bet you extracted 0.9.4 in the same location where 0.9.2 was.
0.9.4 was accidentally distributed without "graminit.[ch]" files,
which I generate lcally whenever I change the syntax, but which the
distributed Makefile believes are part of the distribution. (Of
course I use my own version of the Makefile :-)
The cure is to get rid of the graminit.[ch] you have and uncomment the
last two non-blank lines of the Makefile. The next "make" will now
build "pythongen" and run it with "Grammar" as input, producing
correct versions (I sincerely expect and hope).
