I got past that error by doing "make clean && make" directly in the peg 
directory, but now when I try to compile fb2cpp I get:

james <at> doomtrain:~/src/fb2cpp$ make
make: Circular fb.leg <- fb.leg.c dependency dropped.
cp ../peg/leg .
leg -o fb.leg.c fb.leg primitives.leg expressions.leg
primitives.leg:20: syntax error before text "%{"
make: *** [fb.leg.c] Error 1
