Well, actually, the question is *why* do you need bison at all? Normally
it is needed only if you compile the sources taken from the repository,
because distributed tarballs include getdate.c and getdate.h:

$ tar tf ~ftp/gnu/cpio/cpio-2.11.tar.gz|grep getdate
cpio-2.11/m4/getdate.m4
cpio-2.11/gnu/getdate.c
cpio-2.11/gnu/getdate.y
cpio-2.11/gnu/getdate.h

so there's no need to rebuild anything (unless getdate.y itself gets
modified). Are you sure you are trying to compile a distribution tarball
taken from ftp.gnu.org or one of its mirrors?
