Yes, on trunk. Searching for dupe before starting a new Bug Report, came here.

We might close this Bug with a comment on the Prerequisites page that you
_might_ need bison in the event that you (or a Makefile, broken or otherwise)
modify a `.y' file.


This webpage does not mention the program bison:

I did not modify a `.y' file or play with this part of the code. The reason
that I require bison is either:

1. I 'hit it' with my configure option combination and found an untried path.
2. Typing "make distclean" removed a file (I did not see that happen).
3. Something is broken and bison was not really needed.
4. The "Prerequisites for GCC" is incorrect, we do need bison.
