Error compiling - SuSE 8.2/Lily 1.7.20

[Hans Forbrich]

Just getting around to installing Lilypond 1.7 on my new SuSE 8.2
environment.  I've encountered the error listed.  SuSE 8.2 has extremely
recent dev tools which may cause the problems.

I've been upgrading the various tools described on the Lilypond
development build site to try to resolve this (and currently upgrading
gcc to the production release).  In the list below, where I indicate
upgraded, I've tried to build Lilypond using both.

gcc version 3.3 20030226 (prerelease) (supplied by SuSE)
python 2.2.2                            (supplied by SuSE)
bison (GNU Bison) 1.75          (supplied by SuSE)
bison (GNU Bison) 1.875a      (upgrade)
guile 1.6.2                                (supplied by SuSE)
make 3.80                               (supplied by SuSE)
flex 2.5.4                                 (supplied by SuSE)
flex 2.5.4a                               (upgrade)

Advice appreciated.
