Some cvs digging reveals that you copied that over from the old .how_to_build_from_scratch, which specifically applied to building from cvs. The paragraph before that also explicitly mentions that (even though it should essentially apply to a source dist too). Maybe there are more things copied from .how_to_build_from_scratch that should be in README-CVS instead.

The Pike README (not to be confused with README-CVS) says that you need autoconf, m4 and bison to build a dist. Are those correct? I thought those were only needed when building from CVS or creating a source dist.
