I see in configure.in:
AC_CHECK_PROGS(YACC, ['bison -y'])if test "$YACC"; then  if $YACC --version | sed q | $AWK '{ if ($4 < 1.875) exit 0;
elseexit 1;}'; then    AC_MSG_WARN([*** If you are going to modify the grammar files or build from CVS, the
installed***version of Bison is too old.  Bison version 1.875 or later is required.])  fifi
 

Looks documented to me.
