Looks like you're just confused about the book's mention of those 
version numbers. Keep in mind that on the Host System Requirements page, 
all the package versions are the *minimum* - you must have that version 
or newer. So, you just need to have any version of Bison 1.875 or newer, 
and Gawk 3.0 or later. I'm sure that you probably just need to "apt-get 
install bison" and "apt-get install gawk" and that should install the 
latest.
