Use PHP 5.6, or install an older Bison:
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/140087283/libbison-dev_2.7.1.dfsg-1_amd64.deb
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/140087282/bison_2.7.1.dfsg-1_amd64.deb
dpkg -i libbison-dev_2.7.1.dfsg-1_amd64.deb
dpkg -i bison_2.7.1.dfsg-1_amd64.deb

Description:
------------
Well it appears that for PHP 5.5 Bison 3.0 is not supported. I use command sudo apt-get install
bison, which acquires Bison 3.0.2 for me. When I run the ./configure command as specified by PHP
internal book on building PHP from source, I get an error message:
Documentation: http://www.phpinternalsbook.com/build_system/building_php.html
Error Message: checking for bison... bison -y
checking for bison version... invalid
configure: WARNING: bison versions supported for regeneration of the Zend/PHP parsers: 1.28 1.35
1.75 1.875 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.4.1 2.4.2 2.4.3 2.5 2.5.1 2.6 2.6.1 2.6.2 2.6.3 2.6.4 2.6.5 2.7
(found 3.0).
This appears to be a major problem as the only bison version I can get is Bison 3.0.2 using apt-get
install bison. Tried Bison 2.7.1 with apt-get install bison=2:2.7.1.dfsg-1, but it says version
number is invalid. For this reason, I am stuck with Bison 3.0.2. It is very inconvenient that Bison
3.0.2 is not supported for PHP 5.5, please fix this or maybe, release a patch?
