bison 2.2 on Cygwin

[Oleg Smolsky]

Hey all,

I'm trying to build CVS/HEAD of bison on cygwin/xp and get a gzip
error while running the bootstrap script. The output is below. I have
tried running it with and without the "--skip-po" option. Is there any
way to manually retry what the script is doing?

Also, generally, would it be a big deal to just import a known working
version of gnulib and all of the localizations in to bison's cvs? I
bet you don't need the latest bleeding-edge version, and there may be
some merit in using a "known version". But, then again, you could do
it with a cvs label :)

Thanks,
Oleg.
