There is something fishy about those files.

$ cat input_lexer.cc
main() { return 0; }

Funny, isn't it?

$ cat ginsh_lexer.cc
main() { return 0; }

Same here. Now we get duplicate definition of main -- one in
ginsh_parser.cc (correct) and this bogus one, hence the error:

So, I wonder where these files come from. There are definitely no such
files in CVS (they are supposed automatically generated by flex). Did
you create these files yourself?

And more. In the config.log (line 1159) there are:

ACLOCAL='aclocal-1.4'
AR='ar'
ARCHIVE_AGE='2'
ARCHIVE_VERSION='2'
AUTOCONF='autoconf'
AUTOHEADER='autoheader'
AUTOMAKE='automake-1.4'

This means the `configure' script was created with wrong version of 
automake (1.4). Please use 1.7 or newer.

Best regards,
