That's not surprising, the binary hardcodes the (future) location of its files. 
 To use a non-installed bison, use tests/bison, not src/bison.  README-hacking 
should have told you, I'm sorry it didn't :(  I'll fix that.

Because it used all the other files (in particular c.m4) from install bison.  
And please note that bison.m4 is not a skeleton in itself, it's used by the 
skeletons.


Have a look at tests/bison to see how one tells a bison to use a different 
location for *all* its files.

Cheers!
