This is not a bug report.
A proper bug report MUST state two things:
1) What did you do?
(Which git repository did you clone? Which commands did you issue
to build the thing? What were the settings of relevant environment
variables like CC, CXX, CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, LDFLAGS?)
2) What were the results?
(Error messages, programs that don't behave as expected etc.)
Part 1 is not optional. It is *essential* if you want to get any kind
of actual help.

That cannot be, because you write:

and that mentioned bug was fixed in Gnulib in May 2024 and propagated into
Bison by Paul Eggert in March 2025.
So, I get the impression that you cloned an outdated mirror of Bison from
github.com and thus were barking off the wrong tree all the time.
