I'm guessing that the original reason was in case someone without
bison/flex touched the .y/.l files, they would still be able to
bootstrap.
That would seem to be a misguided notion as it could lead to the above
problem; sorry about the breakage. As a precaution, I'll verify that
we can still bootstrap a generated tarball without bison/flex.
