How can make "know" that a tool like yacc has an extra argument in 3.0
that if didn't have in 2.2.5 ? AFAIK, you have to code this in a Makefile
somewhere.

All I am suggesting is that src/Makefile should to a 'uname -r' and
build a few extra programs (make, yacc, ld) early depending on
2.2.5-RELEASE, 2.2.6-STABLE or 3.0-CURRENT.
