I agree, I have the same concern, and I wish that Automake would  
provide me with both (generate a full Makefile with complete  
dependencies, maximally concurrency builds and so forth, *and* a local  
Makefile that would just bounce to the main one).

But in the case of Bison there are no directories that play such a  
role.  Besides, it is easy to write dummy Makefiles that bounce to  
local targets you'd like to have.
