Those lines seem badly wrapped.  Can you send the output in a way that
will preserve the spacing properly so it is clear what the ^
characters are pointing to?

What file is being compiled when the error occurs?  What is the
command line for the compiler?  I assume it must be lex.cc as that is
the only file that should include oct-gperf.h, but I don't see what
template instantiations would happen when compiling that file.

If you were using g++, I'd ask for a copy of the preprocessed source
(generated with the -save-temps option).  Is there an equivalent way
to generate the preprocessed source on your system with using
precisely the same options that are used for compiling?
