Agreed. I was toying with changing the FLEX variable to contain
"LC_ALL=C flex" but I'm a bit worried about breaking the build on
some platforms (especially Windows).

True. Maybe we should just call it a flex bug and wait for them to
fix it. It's not going to affect builds from tarballs anyway, only
people who build from CVS.
