I get the same test failure, on Snow Leopard with Xcode 3.2.6 / Apple gcc 4.2.1.

I don't understand why the failure happens. It still happens if I run that individual test:

cd $(port work flex)/flex*/tests/test-concatenated-options
sudo make test

But it works fine if I run the same command the test is running:

cd $(port work flex)/flex*/tests/test-concatenated-options
echo %% | sudo ../../flex -cn -o /dev/null
