What's the deal with bison?
This strikes me as a little odd.
bison: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
bison (for architecture i386): Mach-O executable i386
bison (for architecture ppc): Mach-O executable ppc
GNU Bison version 1.28
It looks like Apple went and built a universal binary version of Bison 1.28, which was brand new on July 6, 1999!
Why would they do that?
Do you think it will break anything if I install a more recent version? Like, say, the current one, which is 2.3?
