Hmm, not sure why. Especially given that it does a clean build always, so
the dependency should be noticed.

Even stranger, as I've never had Cygwin installed and it works for me.
Although I'm a bit confused, are you refering to the build of bjam? That is,
if you build bjam with MSVC it doesn't find yacc, but if you build it with
Cygwin it does find it?
