          <para>Normally, building flex is done in two stages. A first
          programs, which is used to generate the source of a second one,
          which is then compiled. When using cross-compilation, the first
          program is generated on the build system. However, due to a bug
          in configure, the presence of some function is tested only on the
          host system. If this function is not found on the build system, the
          build fails. This can be prevented by disabling the two stage
          build.</para>
