Yeah, if it's in your path to begin with then it shouldn't be necessary
to copy it (and it's hard to believe that /usr/bin isn't in your path).
I suspect Peter Eisentraut had the right answer: flush the config.cache
file before running configure, else it'll reuse its previous result
about whether bison exists.
