Right. I've fixed this in the git tree already. Could you try using a
git snapshot?

No need to use a git client, the gitweb interface is able to generate a
tar.gz on the fly:

http://git.balabit.hu/?p=bazsi/syslog-ng-3.2.git;a=snapshot;h=master

In order to make syslog-ng compile from the git snapshot, rather than a
tar.gz, you'll a couple more tools, like (IIRC):

  * bison 2.4.1
  * automake/autoconf/libtool

Once you have those you should run ./autogen.sh from the source tree,
then you'll have everything starting with a configure script to compile
it.

I'll really try to push out a release soon, but I get distracted these
days quite a lot :(
