Comment #5 on issue 3577 by address@hidden: Patch: Build: Fix bison-less build  
from tarball.

I'm not convinced this "bison-less build" is making for a lot of  
happiness.  It means that we need to distribute autogen.sh or at least  
configure in a form where it won't complain about a missing Bison, but  
where any attempt to change the respective sources will result in  
compilation failure.

Maybe we should just ditch the entire concept (including all EXTRA_DIST  
files).  It only makes sense if you scratch the "preferred form for  
modification" idea from the GPL and instead consider the tarball  
the "prepared form for compilation", namely something more portable than a  
binary distribution.

Perhaps one litmus test of "should we reasonably expect Bison to be there?"  
would be whether our GUB process bothers with compiling Bison or not.
