ah.  That's even worse than I'd assume (for Mac OS X).

What it's saying is that whatever you've got for flex is newer or whatever
than what's in the library.  However, that has to be "new" flex since it
depends upon libiconv.  Aside from the handful of applications which use its
reentrancy option, it's generally a step backward to be involved with it.
(Even if the executable worked, you couldn't build vile reliably with it).

Rather, use reflex
