4631	ICA: ranlib and ar (binutils) are different between the first build the second	Bruce Dubbs	lfs-book	"Using obdump -x shows that libfl.so (from flex) is added in the dependencies for the second build. This is to be expected since flex is not built in chapter 5, and built much after binutils in chapter 6.

'''Solution''' build flex in chapter 5 and link /usr/lib/libfl.so* to /tools/lib in ""Creating Essential Files and Symlinks"".

'''Possible side effect''' Several other packages may benefit from having flex executable to generate some files. But it does not show up in ICA.

'''Question''' it is not clear how the fl library is used in ar and ranlib. So is it useful? "	task	closed	normal	10.0	Book	SVN	normal	fixed
