Yes. I eliminated FLEX usage few years ago.

I left harbour.l and macro.l only as some type of documentation
for lexer tokens. FLEX uses well known syntax so this file should
be easy understood by different developers.
For sure we should clear all references to FLEX form INSTALL.
We can also remove it from make system - FLEX does not generate
MT safe code so we cannot use it.
I have not idea if harbour.l and macro.l are really usable for
other developers. Does any one ever look at them? If not then
let's remove them too.
