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?
