No, the dependency on bison had already been introduced earlier.
(The update to 4.0.33 was in Makefile revision 1.115.)

Use Bison in the build instead of byacc.
This fixes the issue of '$()' (for ``) not being parsed correctly.

bash 4.0 simply does not build correctly with BSD yacc, it requires
bison. It would be nice if somebody traced this to a bug in yacc
or bash that could be fixed, but so far nobody has done so, and the
GNU people certainly won't bother.
