Here's the difference: in <sys/stat.h>, the following occurs:

#if __WORDSIZE == 64
     long int __unused[3];
#else
# ifndef __USE_FILE_OFFSET64
     unsigned long int __unused4;
     unsigned long int __unused5;
# else
     __ino64_t st_ino;                   /* File serial number.  */
# endif
#endif

So on 64-bit platforms, a field called __unused is defined.  But in 
param_lex.c, the following code exists:

#if defined(__FreeBSD__)
#include <sys/cdefs.h>
#else
#define __unused
#endif

So that code in <sys/stat.h> comes out to:
   long int [3];
which isn't valid.  The solution is not to define things that aren't in 
your namespace, so flex shouldn't #define __unused, or use it, for that 
matter.

HTH.
