Hmm I think when I had the problem it was looking for /usr/share/bison/... 
So I don't understand. Must be some installation thing; really don't know.

You maybe need the line to still start with a Tab, then comment out the 
rest? I don't know. But tider probably to just delete
$(MANDIR) $(MANPAGES) after default:

Oops - I forgot to add g.dirseps to the list of modules compiled by 
default in general/Makefile. If you just change into the g.dirseps 
directory and run make perhaps it will work after that. Remember to check 
that you need backslashes in the WINGISBASE path in grass63.bat.
