Okay, can you send the output from running ./configure - possibly attach
or pastebin the config.log that exists at top level?

Yeah, this area needs a bit of re-write.  I think I started working on a
better token sharing system, but dropped it after I fixed (well, thought
anyway) the autoconf macro for determining if yytext was a pointer.

flex 2.6.0

Note that we have the same flex version.  I don't see a similar issue.
Is it possible you ran ./configure before installing flex?  I think I've
seen that occur before.  I'm on Fedora 24, but the difference between
bison 3.0.2 and 3.0.4 shouldn't be big enough to matter.

Maybe it's better if we default to pointer, and only go to the array
definition when we don't find it?
