I'd try to have one subdirectory with a sub configure script which you'd
call but without the --host parameter (or, if --build was passed to the
toplevel, then I'd just add --host=$build_alias to the arguments of the
sub configure script).  In the sub package, build the bison and flex
outputs, then in the toplevel, use them for further stuff you're
building.

Hope that helps.
