you can try to use the generated flex output files in the release
tarball, however it requires flex specific symbols from libfl.a

So assuming that only the flex binary is broken and the library is ok,
then try to copy the cfg-lex.c file from the release tarball, touch it
to make it newer than the cfg-lex.l file and try to relink.
