A fix is underway. In the mean time do:
touch legacy/gcc/gcc/cp/parse.h
touch legacy/gcc/gcc/cp/parse.c
in order to prevent the build from trying to run bison.
It has to do with the order in which git creates the files. In
Subversion the files got different timestamps, that's why bison was
never called.
