yacc/bison is

I forgot to reply to that bit. Yacc and bison are not needed to build Sage as
far as I can see, since I build Sage without installing them. If yacc or lex
were needed to build Sage (possible I admit), then how the hell does anyone
install these experimental packages?
It's a "chicken and egg" situation. You need to install Sage so you can install
yacc and bison, but you need to install bison and yacc to build Sage!
