At the cost of boring repeat readers, the reason for installing bison is in
order to be able to install flex so that gcc will not misconfigure on account
of the lex library being found, even though lex is not present. This could
be cured by a better configure script which actually checks for presence of
lex rather than libl, or by removing libl before running configure, or by
installing the lex, which is part of the "ANSI C" extra cost development
package. I found it more practical to install bison and flex.
