I remember me the same discussion. You could do it your self.
Cross generate the yacc output on a big unix machine!!
Take your yacc source to the big (32 bit!) unix machine and yacc it and
put the output and the 2 include-files to the c compiler on your
small unix machine. I have used it for a 16 bit machine without yacc.
I haven't tested it with perl.
