I think it must have something to do with the "fatal error" that flex is
reporting:

"flex: fatal internal error, exec failed"

Where did you get the flex binary from?

PS: I've committed some HP-UX related fixes to my git tree, although
this flex related problem is specific to your installation and not
solved by my recent patches, please use the latest snapshot. You can
find somewhat more information on my blog. (http://bazsi.blogspot.com/)
