Cygwin build for mingw32 host build failure in binutils-gdb/intl with make 4.0

["Pierre Muller" <pierre dot muller at ics-cnrs dot unistra dot fr>]

  Hi,

  I get build failure trying to compile mingw32 using
i686-w64-mingw32-gcc on a cygwin installation.

  After some checks, I suspect that the problem comes from the fact
that cygwin has make 4.0 version.

  in intl sub-directory,
plural.c is regenerated using 
bison -y -d --name-prefix=__gettext --output plural.c
../../../binutils-gdb/intl/plural.y
command,
while on msys with make 3.81,
the file ../../../binutils-gdb/intl/plural.c source is used.

  Installed bison version is 3.0.2
and the newly generated plural.c leads to this error below:

   It seems that this problem is also mingw32 specific because
for native cygwin compilation, the all target in intl sub-directory is
all-no.
But forcing the compilation by running
make ?C intl all-yes
also leads to a generation of plural.c aand to the same compilation error.

  How should this problem be fixed?
