This excerpt from the documentation to the gnu c library states that
stdin,stdout and stderr are variables not constants
------------snip--------------------------
In the GNU C library, `stdin', `stdout', and `stderr' are normal
variables which you can set just like any others. For example, to
redirect the standard output to a file, you could do:
fclose (stdout);
stdout = fopen ("standard-output-file", "w");
Note however, that in other systems `stdin', `stdout', and `stderr'
are macros that you cannot assign to in the normal way. But you can
use `freopen' to get the effect of closing one and reopening it.

I got it to compile by (hack hack hack)
1.commenting out the offending line from saol.yy.c: (45)
2.in saol.h:
#define yyin stdin
#define yyout stdout
3.there were some trouble in genutils.h line 11
char *strdup(const char *);
which I commented out, should have been caugth by some #ifdef's I guess
4.make it
I'm on a Redhat 6.0 system , and using egcs-2.91.66
I haven't tested it so much, but it seems to work on the wovels and claps
examples
