Hmm, sorry for the late response, but I was away on the (long) weekend :-(
I think your patch might be the source for Christopher's build problem
(Compile problem on FreeBSD/Alpha).

Peter already had a patch, that I tested, modified a little, and sent him back
for inclusion into CVS.

I will attach his patch with my small fixes for cross reference.
The issue is, that you need to remove the #include "bootstrap_tokens.h"
line from the lex file.
