You seem to have a rather broken version of flex :-(

However, if you were building from a distribution tarball you really
shouldn't have needed flex at all. [ pokes around... ] Oh, it looks
like the replication bison/flex output files aren't actually in the
tarballs after all. Grumble. I can fix that part at least. But
you still ought to try to find a non-broken flex.
