I've tried building *old* bison generated code with 
'-O2 -g -fno-strict-aliasing':

make CXXFLAGS="-O2 -g -Wall" && rm -f ginac/.libs/input_parser.o && \
rm -f ginac/input_parser.lo && \
make CXXFLAGS="-O2 -g -Wall -fno-strict-aliasing" && \
make check CXXFLAGS="-O2 -g -Wall" 

No test failed. So I suspect that code in question (files 
ginac/input_parser.cc ginac/input_parser.h) have not been re-generated
(since make does not know that code depends on version of bison). Could
you please check if this is the case? Try to remove these files (source
and header), and rebuild GiNaC with CXXFLAGS="-O2".

Best regards,
 Alexei.
