Yes, with --no-git and a local gnulib directory. But for now let's focus on 
bison 3.2.x. I'll restart the bootstrapping stuff later (which is related to 
the xsl patch series requiring new gnulib modules)

... such that I can send config.h and decent logs. I'll come back soon on this.

Compilation of bison-3.2.6-f8cad (now with GCC 8.2.0, before it was GCC 7.3.0):
 
$ sh --version
GNU bash, Version 4.4.23(1)-release (x86_64-pc-msys)

$ gcc --version
gcc.exe (Rev3, Built by MSYS2 project) 8.2.0

$ gcc -dumpmachine

../configure && make runs through in a subdir with the following warnings:

Still the weird skeleton message:

$ cd src && bison --skeleton
bison: option requires an argument -- skeleton
„bison --help“ gibt weitere Informationen.

Note: This is mixed language. I have various shells on my machine (cygwin, 
msys2, mingw64, mingw32, ...). Could it be that weirdly locale information from 
somewhere else is pulled? Here the pure English version. 

$ LC_ALL=C bison --skeleton
bison: option requires an argument -- skeleton
Try 'bison --help' for more information.

Thanks,
J.
