There are two things happening here and I think you are confusing
them with each other.
1) CVS checkout and build as a developer.
Needs a full development suite of current tools. You are checking
out raw source and building everything from scratch. Needs bison.
Needs m4. Etc.
2) Building from a "dist" image. (e.g. released tar.gz)
Need basic tools only. Do not need bison. Do not need m4. All of
those components are pre-built and shipped in the release image.
If you modify a source file then of course you then need the
required tools to process whatever changes you make. But then you
are slipping back into the developer role again. If you don't
change anything then the files will already be ready to go.
CVS checkout and build gets you the latest bits but then you need
everything. Using a dist image is much easier but then you must wait
for a developer to build and distribute an image.
