Your request should go to comp.binaries.ibm.pc.wanted.

ftp-os2.nmsu.edu is a good source of GNU stuff for OS/2 and MSDOS. Most of
the excitement is in OS/2-only ports, but the directory pub/os2/all/unix/gnu/
contains bison 1.10 for OS/2 and MSDOS. I've used this bison under OS/2. 

pub/os2/2.0/unix/gnu/ contains bison 1.19, ready to compile with EMX/gcc.
I've done this for OS/2; some changes would be required for an MSDOS version
(and I cannot confirm that it would work). 

NOTE: ftp-os2 has had some problems over the past two days. It may still
be down.

Thanks to Kai Uwe Rommel for the ports!
