I saw this too, and it was caused by "ldlex.l" being newer than
"ldlex.[hc]" in .../gnu/dist/toolchain/ld/.

I think using LEX=true and having the already lex'ed file in CVS is
probably a good idea, considering cross compiling and stuff, but
obviously the "mv lex.yy.c ..." part of the lexer make rule needs to
nulled out somehow too.
