Re: [FOUND] Re: pkgsrc-2024Q3: emulators/wine flex error

[tlaronde%kergis.com@localhost]

As suggested by Roland Illig, I tested with recompiling lex on the
node where it fails. And a freshly compiled lex(1) doesn't exhibit the
problem.

So it is a problem on my side (totally at a lost about what caused the
userland to be incorrect) and not a general problem to be addressed by
the pkgsrc framework and/or on the emulators/wine package.

For the record.
