It's the engine for Text::BibTeX.

During make I get :

src/lex_auxiliary.c:161:254: warning: character constant too long
src/lex_auxiliary.c: In function `zzcr_attr':
src/lex_auxiliary.c:161: parse error before '\x20262620'

src/lex_auxiliary.c:161: parse error before ')' token
make: *** [src/lex_auxiliary.o] Error 1

For some reason you need to escape the quotes in src/lex_auxiliary.c
I reported this to the author and it will be fixed in the next release.
