To whomever might concern, I followed OP's steps while on macOS and only was able to finish bootstrap once dirtied several `md5sum` occurrences replacing by `md5`, in `/PATH/TO/BISON/gnulib/gnulib-tool`.
I've found that `md5sum` is part of GNU Coreutils, which I previously had selected via Homebrew (_installed_, in Homebrew jargon). **For GNU Bison, am I supposed to be providing the GNU Coreutils dependency (for Gnulib) in a way other than Homebrew** (a standalone install… a Macports package...)? I had a look into the Gnulib as a submodule basic docs, and its README simply recommends to `cd doc && make gnulib.html`, which then on my tryout yielded some `makeinfo` errors. Should I refer these as portability trivia at a gnulib list? > On 26 Dec 2018, at 15:57, Wouter Beek <wou...@triply.cc> wrote: > > Dear Bison users, > > I'm having trouble building recent Bison versions from source.
