I had this problem.  If my memory is correct the problem was with either flex, 
automake, or autoconfig.  The versions I'm using were installed using MacPorts. 

$ flex --version
flex 2.5.37

$ automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.11.5

My automake isn't the most recent version available from MacPorts.

$ port installed automake
The following ports are currently installed:
  automake @1.11.1_0
  automake @1.11.2_0
  automake @1.11.3_0
