You probably do not have the macro program M4 properly installed on your
computer, which Bison uses to produce source files. Later Bison version
writes a series of macros, which it hands over to M4, which then, combined
with a skeleton file, writes the output file. This makes it easy to write
skeleton files in various diverse applications.
