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.
