title: glibc configure error: yacc/bison missing
body: <p>I'm following the instructions from <a href="http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/index.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">LFS</a> but with a twist: I'm only following parts of Section 5 - Constructing a Temporary System to the extent that I can build my own GCC, reason being that this is a work machine, and I don't have root privileges.  It was going all right until I ran into an error configuring <code>glibc</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>configure: error:
  *** These critical programs are missing or too old: as GNU ld make bison compiler
  *** Check the INSTALL file for required versions.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>After some investigation, it turns out that I'm not satisfying this condition that's required for LFS:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/usr/bin/yacc is a symbolic link to bison or a small script that executes bison.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Turns out that there is no such file at <code>/usr/bin/yacc</code> (although <code>bison</code> does exist).  However, because I don't have root privileges at work, I can't create a symbolic link there.  Is there a workaround here?</p>
