Bison 3.0 incomptatibility (was: Cygwin build for mingw32 host build failure in binutils-gdb/intl with make 4.0)

["Pierre Muller" <pierre dot muller at ics-cnrs dot unistra dot fr>]

  After some research, I found out that this is a known issue:
this issue is fixed in glibc


fixed gettext compatibility with bison 3.0
plural.y was incompatible with newer bison versions

https://github.com/zerovm/glibc/commit/9f3f5229848390ae921f77c92f666ca6f0bff
c00

Is there a "master" intl which we should  update from?
