What version of flex do you have installed?  If you look at the file
gcc/gengtype-lex.c in your build directory, do you see typedefs for
flex_int32_t?

I do not recall any other reports like this, so most likely you are
using a very odd version of flex or something weird has happened.
Consider simply removing gcc/gengtype-lex.c and starting again.
