I compiled Haproxy LTS 2.2 version from source with this command:
make TARGET=linux-glibc USE_PCRE=1 USE_OPENSSL=1 USE_ZLIB=1 USE_CRYPT_H=1 USE_LIBCRYPT=1
There was no error during compiling.
This is my Haproxy config:

When I'm checking config with haproxy -c -q -V -f /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
command I'm getting following error:
[NOTICE] 226/130914 (35193) : haproxy version is 2.2.2

I checked documentation and it's allowed to use bind
keyword in frontend section
http://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/2.2/configuration.html#bind (Alphabetically sorted keywords reference)
More mindfuck achieved when I commenting out bind
keyword in frontend section. Then error says:
[WARNING] 226/132456 (36642) : config : frontend 'http-in' has no 'bind' directive. Please declare it as a backend if this was intended.
🤷

This looks like you used some other whitespace character that looks like a space, but isn't actually the normal space character, between
bind
and192.168.123.40:80
. Try typing in the text again, but this time use a regular space (U+0020, ASCII 32).
