Hi, I do not think the lexer has anything to do with this.A quick look at the log suggests that the package is "rolling" its own "stdio.h" (note the "../../lib/stdio.h" in the error message). Indeed, the full log has "mv stdio.h-t3 stdio.h" as well.
I believe that this is stdio.h is generated by the embedded gnulib copy and that is as far as I am willing to debug that rabbit hole. Based on the error, I assume gnulib's generated stdio.h requires the project specific "config.h" to be loaded first.
As for solving it, I would have a look at the "conffile.lex.c" file, see where it has its "#include" for stdio.h and then add an `include "config.h"` before that to see if it works (via a patch).
Hope that helps. Best regards, Niels
