Yeah.  We solved this and other problems years ago by decreeing that
we would never try to compile flex output files on their own; they'd
always be #include'd into some other source file so that pg_config.h
would get read first.  psqlscan.l seems to have escaped that dictum
somehow, but I guess we'd better make it fall into line.

In most of the other cases the #include is done in an associated .y
file, but there is none in psql.  Anyone have a thought which of
psql's .c files would be the most appropriate host?
