Depends. They either support and honor it, or I guess they complain if
they don't have support for it.

Some byacc's support it (e.g., the top hit on Google when searching for
byacc), but some don't.

That being said, as part of the move-to-CMake discussion the consensus
was to only support bison (and remove make-parser.pl). (IIRC)
