This problem is almost certainly not in dlltool.

The b18 release probably has byacc, which is a bison equivalent.

You should not be using configure.bat in cygwin32.  There is no
configure script for libiberty, there is only a configure.in script
which is used by the top level configure script.  Disregard
libiberty/README, as it is incorrect.  Always run configure from the
top level; it will automatically configure all the subdirectories,
including libiberty, bfd, and binutils.
