The calc++ example uses flex in Makefile, which generates a C file, instead of flex++, which generates cpp files. Although scanner.ll may contain C++ code, flex treats it as a C program. What the example shows is how to connect a Bison C++ program to a Flex C program, not a Bison C++ program to a Flex C++ program. In this sense the description in the Bison 3.8.1 manual is misleading and the text should be changed to reflect what the true issues are. By-the-by, changing FLEX=flex to FLEX=flex++ produces a linkable file with errors and not calc++.exe file.
