The lexed file conffile.lex.c seems to include some stuff before
config.h is included which is causing it to choke.
I'm not acquainted with lexers and not sure what causes this. I'd
appreciate any help.
Adding mentors list as well. If someone can help with this, that'd be great.

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
