I think not.  Actually, I think it is actively incorrect.

I have done quite a bit of cross building of things requiring either 
bison or flex, and have never encountered  $(CROSS_COMPILE)bison, so I 
would think that it is unlikely that many people have one.  On the other 
hand the native tools work fine.
