Well yes it is a make check failure...

>>> lfs@Microknoppix:/mnt/lfs/sources/bison-3.0.4$ time { ./configure
>>> --prefix=/tools && make && make check && make install; } ;

see the make check and tests?

Going to be difficult to run lex/flex without it being installed during

You may not be, but then if you are running tests in ch5, you should know
exactly what is going on and install flex on your host or in tools.
