binutils complains:

I do have /home/reed/netbsd/src/tooldir.Linux-2.6.9-unknown/bin/nblex
which was built earlier.

I tried editing tools/binutils/Makefile (to define
LEX=${TOOLDIR}/bin/${_TOOL_PREFIX}lex) and gnu/dist/binutils/Makefile.in
to make sure LEX was used but no luck.

Such as:

(But that did not help.)

I see LEX is defined in share/mk/bsd.own.mk.

Any ideas on how to get my nblex tool to be used?
