FWIW, I was just investigating why bison made it into a embedded device I'm working on, and if you look at the sources for gobject-introspection, there is actually a code path where bison is used at run time. While it seems unlikely it would be used, it is technically a runtime depend. -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel
