I wondered the same thing and was hoping Doug would chime in on how he did it.
As far as I know there is no way to generically check.

On the other hand I have polled around here and no one knows of a rpm distro
which does not provide bison or flex.  Perhaps some of the other distros will
chime in if this will break them.
