I recall having the same problem a long time ago and, 
if memory doesn't fail me (which is not a rare occurrence lately),  
it was due to using a wrong version of flex and using "/sw/lib/flex/bin/flex"
provided by the package:

flex-devel       2.5.35-2     Fast lexical analyser generator

solved the problem.

I'm not sure this is useful information I'm not even sure you need flex at all 
when building from a release and not from development sources.

HTH anyway,
