Really? Not for me:

/usr/local/bin/m4: /home/jdenny/installs/bison/2.3a/share/bison//

% ~/installs/bison/2.3a/bin/bison --skeleton="./tmp.m4" tmp.y
/usr/local/bin/m4: /home/jdenny/installs/bison/2.3a/share/bison/./
tmp.m4: No such file or directory

I did not use the quotes around the skeleton filename. I did try all
