Specifically, the flex-2.5.31-debian_fixes-2.patch updates the Flex file
(""scan.l"") after the C file (""scan.c""). When Make is executed it sees the Flex
file as being newer than the C file and tries to update it. This causes it to
realize that it needs Lex/Flex.

A simple solution to the problem is easy, touch the pre-generated file
(""scan.c"") after putting the patch in place.

A better, longer-term solution is to update the patch file to update the C file
(""scan.c"") after Lex/Flex file (""scan.l"")."	defect	closed	lowest		Book	SVN	normal	fixed
