I poked at this for a couple days, and there are problems with the
current flex build instructions:
1. The order of the files in flex-2.5.31-debian_fixes-2.patch may
sometimes trigger regenerating scan.c, which causes the build to fail if
flex is not already installed.
-- Solution: Move the scan.c section of the patch to after the scan.l
section. Build and install per the current instructions. Goto 2.
The livecd scripts implement another solution:
patch -Z -Np1 -i flex-2.5.31-debian_fixes-2.patch
Note the "-Z" option which causes dates to be set from the patch.
