+- CVS Bison itself
 
 Only building the initial full source tree will be a bit painful,
 later, a plain `cvs update -P & make' should be sufficient.

 Enjoy!
 
+* Troubleshooting
+
+Unfortunately the current Gettext still does not include all the
+needed tools so that the bootstrapping always perform successfully.
+
+If you experience problems, I suggest the following:
+
+1. Do a regular CVS checkout
+
+2. Fetch a recent tarball in:
+   http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~akim/download/
+
+3. Extract it
+
+4. Override the content of your checkout with the content of this
+   tarball, i.e.:
+   cp -r bison-1.49b/* bison-cvs
+
+5. Proceed on ./configure && make etc.
