I am trying to build GPC for the MSYS platform. After configuring, "make" is fine in building gcc and gpc. But if I run "make bootstrap" instead, when getting to the parse.y/parse.c stage of gpc, I get errors about attempting to use "poisoned malloc" and "poisoned realloc". I am not sure what any of this is about, or how to solve this problem.
This is one of the mentioned bison version problems. Using the latest CVS bison should help -- if you manage to build it (which is not easy since it requires bleeding edge versions of many other tools). I read that a new release of bison is coming soon, so there's hope ...
Or don't change anything in parse.y and make sure that parse.[ch] are not older than parse.y (which should be the case in the source distribution).
