Isn't that part of the "ship the bison/flex output files" thing? We
ship lex.pgs.cc parser.tab.cc as well, and that's where the dependency
comes from. So we need to ship either both of them or none of them, I
think.

I don't recall exactly why it was, but the README is pretty specific
about the fact that it *is* sensitive. So the version used to generate
the .cc files should be the same as the one used for the .h....
