Re: trying to contribute but got an error during the setup

All,

Looking into this issue, it appears the version of bison included with 
macOS' Command Line Tools/via Xcode is too old to utilize (2.3, as of 
writing). After changing $PATH to use a newer version of bison via 
Homebrew or MacPorts, I was able to successfully build coreutils.

configure.log shows this:
   checking for bison 2.4 or newer... 2.3, bad
Should it instead error?

Hope this helps :)

(P.S., a minor thing: bootstrap may want to also check for wget in order 
to fetch translations)
