Looks like bash-3.2-fixes-1.patch touches parser.y; this is what causes
the bash build system to try to invoke yacc.

Normally bison/yacc are not supposed to be required to build a package;
normally the maintainer will run them on their machine before generating
the new tarball.  I am guessing that if somebody here pulled down the
patch and the bash tarball, it wouldn't be too difficult to create a
patch file that contains the generated parser.c file also; this may be a
good idea.

(But then, maybe CLFS has a good reason to avoid touching the generated
file?  Not sure.)
