Don't you sort of think that's an untenable position? That prevents
anything living under the X.Org umbrella from depending on anything
that's not in the OpenBSD and NetBSD base install. Maybe we really
want a minimal set of dependencies, I don't know, but bison and flex
don't seem like unreasonable dependencies.

I don't think you can build Mesa without flex and bison. Can you?

Besides that, does anything depend on libxkbcommon except Weston?
Given lack of KMS on *BSD operating systems, I don't even think you
can use Weston.
