Comment #10 on issue 3577 by address@hidden: Patch: Build: Fix  
bison-less build from tarball.
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3577

I actually noticed that the tarball out-of-tree build was failing, but  
though that it might have been the case for a long time. I think issue 3530  
or issue 3559 or a combination of the two is probably to blame. Make will  
see the file Documentation/out/ly-grammar.txt in the source tree and won't  
regenerate it, but in that case it should pass the correct -I command-line  
to makeinfo, which it apparently doesn't. There's no point trying to  
reproduce in-tree.

OK, I am now convinced that there's too much subtle trouble with this  
optional dependency that I'll turn this issue into making bison a required  
dependency. Bison-less build seems to have been broken for a while; it  
cannot have been that common for people to rely on it, although it was made  
optional 8 years ago:
