What does it say on line 572 (and the lines right before it) ?

There should be no changes that break backwards compatibility.  Some
options have been added.

The error you see is from lex (flex), its lexical parser fails to
split the input into keywords and data values, so this is a syntax
error, not a grammar error or bad config value.
