As Iain reported, my change broke the case when one has bison >= 3,
but make decides there is no reason to regenerate plural.c, unfortunately
that seems to be a scenario I haven't tested. The problem is that
the pregenerated plural.c has been generated with bison 1.35, but when
config.h says HAVE_BISON3, the code assumes it is the bison3 variant.
What used to work fine is when one has bison >= 3 and plural.c has been
regenerated (e.g. do touch intl/plural.y and it will work), or when
one doesn't have any bison (then nothing is regenerated, but HAVE_BISON3
isn't defined either), or when one has bison < 3 and doesn't need to
regenerate, or when one has bison < 3 and it is regenerated.
The following patch fixes this, by killing the HAVE_BISON3 macro from
config.h, and instead remembering the fact whether plural.c has been created
with bison < 3 or bison >= 3 in a separate new plural-config.h header.
The way this works:
- user doesn't have bison
- user has bison >= 3, but intl/{plural-config.h,plural.c} aren't older than intl/plural.y
- user has bison < 3, but intl/{plural-config.h,plural.c} aren't older than intl/plural.y
pregenerated !USE_BISON3 plural.c and plural-config.h from source
dir is used, nothing in the objdir
- user has bison >= 3 and intl/plural.y is newer
Makefile generates plural.c and USE_BISON3 plural-config.h in the
objdir, which is then used in preference to srcdir copies
- user has bison < 3 and intl/plural.y is newer
Makefile generates plural.c and !USE_BISON3 plural-config.h in the
objdir, which is then used in preference to srcdir copies
I have tested all these cases and make all-yes worked in all the cases.
If one uses the unsupported ./configure where srcdir == objdir, I guess
(though haven't tested) that it should still work, just it would be nice
if such people didn't try to check in the plural{.c,-config.h} they have
regenerated.
What doesn't work, but didn't work before either (just tested gcc-9 branch
too) is when one doesn't have bison and plural.y is newer than plural.c.
Don't do that ;)

bison 3 apparently made a backwards incompatible change, dropped
YYLEX_PARAM/YYPARSE_PARAM support and instead needs %param or %lex-param
and %parse-param. Furthermore, there is no easy way to conditionalize
on bison version in the *.y files.
While e.g. glibc bumped bison requirement and just has the bison 3
compatible version, Richi said there are still systems with older bison
where we want to build gcc.
So, this patch instead determines during configure bison version, and
depending on that when building plural.c (if building it at all) tweaks
what is passed over to bison if needed.
Tested with both bison 3 and bison 1.35, in each case with reconfiguring
intl and building with make all-yes (as in my setup intl isn't normally
used).
