postgresql-7.3 does build fine with flex-2.5.4a-r5 however.

this might be similar to bug #11654

i have this same problem.  also running flex-2.5.23.  will wait until someone has a fix 
for the postgres build, or if flex revs up to fix the problem.

still broken with flex-2.5.31 and gcc 2.95 

maybe we should send this upstream ?
