The idea is that it should not matter which binary is run, e.g. whether you
run 32-bit or 64-bit bison, you'll (hopefully) get the same generated
parser.
Of course this breaks horribly if the binary is something like kde4-config
(you'll want kde4-config --libsuffix and the like to return different
results for 32-bit or 64-bit builds), and we don't have a good solution for
that. (Yes, kde4-config is an ELF binary, not a script.)
