If both are available, and the code that uses them is compatible with either, why does it matter if the GNU version is used? It may be it's faster, or gives better errors during development over, say, an ancient yacc. I don't see it's a build dependency if it's happy using the non-GNU versions when they are the only ones available. Cheers, Ralph.
