Dear Cygwin,
I am a fan of Bison and Flex. The current version of Bison on Cygwin is
from 2015. Can someone update it?
I am interested in trying to update it myself. Is their a tutorial for that?
Thank you,
Song

for what I see from the source package it was a vanilla build.
If it is not changed it should be enough to download the
bison-3.0.4-1-src.tar.xz
file, extract the bison.cygport, update to latest version 3.7.6
and run it with cygport
cygport bison.cygport download all check
