Hi, all. I just supped, today, and tried to build the world. I failed, and
it seemed to be a problem with flex. On going into /usr/src/usr.bin/lex and
trying to build there, flex actually dumped core. So, it seems to die when
trying to build itself.

FWIW, in case anyone else snags this, a quick workaround was building flex
from pkgsrc and build /usr/bin/flex with that. Once done, the newly-built
flex can build itself, and then, for completeness, the flex that results
from that can be used to build itself as well.

FWIW, gcc caught an unfriendly signal while building GNU flex the first time.
I couldn't reproduce the error thereafter. (I love problems like that. Don't
you?)

Anyways, make build is working again, although I don't know if it'll
successfully complete or not. We shall see. (I rebuilt yacc as well,
incidentally.)
