 I have been looking a little into this and found that mk/tools/replace.mk has
 the line "TOOL_DEPENDS+= bison>=1.0:../../devel/bison" in the bison
 section. gmake has GMAKE_REQD instead of 1.0 which explains why the version
 displayed for gmake is correct. BISON_REQD has an effect in that if a
 sufficient version is not installed bison from pkgsrc is used and that is
 usually of the latest version. So this can be closed.
