This is very easy to do, thanks to work by Bruno Haible in gnulib.
See "Supporting Relocation" in gnulib's documentation.
* bootstrap.conf: We need relocatable-prog and relocatable-script (for yacc).
* src/yacc.in: New.
* configure.ac, src/local.mk: Instantiate it.
* src/main.c, src/output.c (main, pkgdatadir): Use relocatable2.
* doc/bison.texi (FAQ): Document it.
As a matter of fact, I think it is wrong to gitignore generated files
that belong to the build tree. There should be the strict minimum,
and it's up to people that build in place to adjust their own
~/.gitignore.
* doc/.gitignore: here.
Remove files we no longer produce (thanks to texi2dvi).
* origin/maint:
maint: remove useless file
update files to ignore
remove useless include
use locale-indep. c_is* functions for parsing, not isspace, isprint etc
gnulib: update
--help: include a place to report translation issues
tests: style changes
tests: fix push-pull test
yacc.c: style changes
Conflicts:
src/system.h
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gpl-3.0.
* doc/gpl-3.0.texi: Remove from version control, now that
we get it via gnulib.
* doc/.gitignore: Ignore it.
(cherry picked from commit b87414a05e)
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gpl-3.0.
* doc/gpl-3.0.texi: Remove from version control, now that
we get it via gnulib.
* doc/.gitignore: Ignore it.
* README-hacking (Updating a submodule): Give advice on how to
determine the versions of gnulib and autoconf to which we should
update.
(Release Procedure): Note that submodules should be updated.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Rename pipe to spawn-pipe as
suggested in updated gnulib NEWS.
* gnulib: Choose a stable snapshot according to advice in Bison's
README-hacking.
* po/POTFILES.in (lib/pipe.c): Rename to...
(lib/spawn-pipe.c): ... this.
* src/output.c: Update to include spawn-pipe.h.
* submodules/autoconf: Update to latest for improvement in m4.m4
that excludes M4 with buggy strstr. The only other changes to
files that we use are copyright updates.

Omit leading '/', since bootstrap omits it.
Adjust file names to match current contents better.
* bootstrap: Sync from gnulib: this contains the new gnulib_mk_hook
installed just for us.
* bootstrap.conf (excluded_files): Don't exclude codeset.m4,
glibc21.m4, inttypes_h.m4, size_max.m4, xsize.m4, as they are now
needed somehow. Don't have time to look into why.
(gnulib_modules): Change malloc to malloc-gnu. Do we really assume
the GNU malloc behavior, where malloc (0) != NULL unless we're
out of storage? If not, we can omit malloc-gnu; but for now I left
it in to be safe.
(vc_ignore): Remove.
* README-hacking: Renamed from HACKING, since gnulib bootstrap now
uses that convention.

Some of our targets use "bison --help", but they can't depend on
"bison" itself (to avoid additional requirements on the user), so
they used to call "make src/bison" in the commands. Then
concurrent builds may fail: one make might be aiming one of its
jobs at compiling src/bison, and another job at generating the man
page. If the latter is faster than the former, then we have two
makes that concurrently try to compile src/bison.
This might also be a more convincing explanation for the failure
described in the patch "build: fix paths".
* Makefile.am (SUFFIXES): Initialize.
* build-aux/move-if-change: New, symlink to gnulib's.
* build-aux/local.mk: Ship it.
* doc/common.x: Remove, merged into...
* doc/bison.x: here.
* doc/local.mk (doc/bison.help): New.
($(CROSS_OPTIONS_TEXI)): Depend on it.
Use src/bison.
(.x.1): Replace with...
(doc/bison.1): this explicit, simpler, target.
(common_dep): Remove, inlined where appropriate.
(SUFFIXES, PREPATH): Remove, unused.
* .cvsignore (.tarball-version, GNUmakefile, *~): Add.
* .gitignore (/.tarball-version, /GNUmakefile, /*~): Add.
* .prev-version: New.
* .version.in: Remove.
* ChangeLog: Remove the $Id$ previously used for capturing the CVS
revision.
* GNUmakefile: Remove, now copied from Gnulib.
* Makefile.am: Add code suggested by comments in
build-aux/git-version-gen.
(EXTRA_DIST): Remove GNUmakefile, handled by Gnulib. Add maint.mk,
.prev-version, and .version.
* NEWS (2.3b+): Rename to...
(?.?): ... this because we're dropping the "+" version naming scheme,
but, in general, we still can't be sure of our next release name.
* bootstrap: Add a quick hack to remove from .gitignore the
GNUmakefile entry that gnulib adds. We already have a /GNUmakefile
entry. This should really be fixed in gnulib instead.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gnumakefile.
* configure.ac (AC_INIT): Set version name by invoking
build-aux/git-version-gen.
(AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove .version, now generated by
build-aux/git-version-gen.
* maint.mk: New, copied from coreutils.
* doc/.cvsignore (bison.1): Add.
* doc/.gitignore (/bison.1): Add.
* doc/bison.1: Remove, generated.
* src/.cvsignore (revision.c): Remove.
* src/.gitignore (/revision.c): Remove.
* src/Makefile.am (bison_SOURCES): Remove revision.c and revision.h.
(BUILT_SOURCES): Remove revision.c.
(revision.c): Remove.
* src/getargs.c (version): Don't print revision after the VERSION.
* src/revision.h: Remove.
