Does changing line 220 of config.c to

    int c = (cf->fgetc)(cf);

fix it?

I also had to change line 224 to the following

                c = (cf->fgetc)(cf);

Once both places were changes, it compiled successfully.

Sounds like a parser bug to me.

No, it isn't.  fgetc may be a function-like macro that expands to an
arbitrary expression (same for ungetc or ftell, or any other indentifier
that matches a C library function, for that matter).
