error building binutils on cygwin

error building binutils on cygwin

[Sveta]

I have fresh cygwin installation withour any customisations.

I need to build binutils. Tried different versions from 2.16.1 to 2.16.94.
Always the same problem, which is shown in the log below. Please give me the
hint - how to solve that.

  I don't know, binutils builds fine for me on cygwin, both from tarballs and
from CVS.  I suspect you're having a problem with the crosstool script; you
should try reporting this on the crossgcc list rather than the main binutils
list, because that's where all the crosstools experts hang out.

It looks like you have a bad or out of date version of bison installed 
on your machine.  The constructed deffile.c file is not supposed to have 
a main() function in it.

Please check to see which version of bison you have installed, and 
update it if you can.

Cheers

I did not have bison istalled at all. I installed that now, but result is
the same. The crosstool directory in the log does not refer to crosstool. I
really try to build binutils from sources without any other scripts.
