https://cygwin.com/packaging-contributors-guide.html

for what I see from the source package it was a vanilla build.
If it is not changed it should be enough to download the

  bison-3.0.4-1-src.tar.xz

file, extract the bison.cygport, update to latest version 3.7.6
and run it with cygport

  cygport bison.cygport download all check
