Why use a release candidate ? If you're using 2017.02, please use the
latest 2017.02.x release, currently 2017.02.9.

We do not support building gcc for the target, so I'm not sure how
Buildroot will help you with this.

There is not enough context here to help you. When does this happens?
During the build of which package ? Does this happens during a complete
rebuild (i.e "make clean all") ?

Or perhaps this happens when you try to manually build gcc outside of
Buildroot ? If so, I'd say you're on your own, and if bison is missing,
well, just build host-bison, and add output/host/usr/bin to your PATH.

Best regards,

Thomas
