Bootstrap tools are built twice, so we try to only build them when we
know that we need them, i.e. when cross-building (for machine-dependent
tools) or when building on a system that has an older, incompatible
version of the tool.  For lex and yacc, the latter case applies, since
they are machine-independent.

My final test build just completed.  I just committed the version bump
and the bootstrap change; Baptiste will commit the yyparse() fix later
today.
