You should be able to skip that bad subdirectory by running the command

make SUBDIRS='config po runtime-po lib data src doc tests'

I'd guess that your C++ compiler isn't installed correctly.

Bison's 'configure' script is supposed to detect that problem, and
skip all C++-related code if C++ looks flaky, but I guess the
detection failed for you.

Another possibility is that calc++-scanner.o got munged somehow.
You might try removing it and doing a rebuild.
