Those are the same versions I'm running.  Also, my Autoconf is invoking 
GNU M4 1.4.7.

I'm using Slackware 10.2.0 on an i686.

I just checked out Bison from CVS and ran bootstrap without trouble.

I don't recall ever seeing this error.

Configure does not check for Flex and Texinfo (cvs head)

With the latest cvs head without flex I run into:

    /bin/bash ../build-aux/ylwrap scan-code.l .c scan-code.c -- :
    /bin/bash ../build-aux/ylwrap scan-skel.l .c scan-skel.c -- :
    /bin/bash ../build-aux/ylwrap scan-gram.l .c scan-gram.c -- :
    make[1]: *** [scan-skel.c] Error 1
    make[1]: *** [scan-gram.c] Error 1
    make[1]: *** [scan-code.c] Error 1

With flex installed but no texinfo I run into:

    WARNING: `makeinfo' is missing on your system.  [..]
    make[1]: *** [bison.info] Error 1
