I had not altered any files directly but I was not using gnu make either. I saw
the instructions recommended its use but thought HP's might work.
Regarding installing bison, I was under the impression that bison was included with
gcc. gcc-2.95.1/install/BUILD states:
Building a native compiler
For a native build issue the command `make bootstrap'. This will build
the entire GCC system, which includes the following steps:
* Build host tools necessary to build the compiler such as texinfo,
bison, gperf.
If gcc is able to build bison, it must ship it, right?
