I got bit by this tonight as part of testing a patch on CentOS 5, which like
RHEL 5 still ships flex 2.5.4. I just wrote a little guide on how to grab a
source RPM from a Fedora version and install it to work around that problem:

Kind of annoying, but as special software you have to install on a server
just to build something from CVS goes it's only a minor inconvenience.
*sigh*. So does OS X Tiger. And (unsurprisingly), CentOS 4, which is
what we use for all our Linux build servers.
This is getting quite tiresome :-(
Much as I dislike it, we may need to revisit the idea about putting
the flex output files in CVS...
Why? This only affects developers building from a CVS pull. You don't
need any flex at all to build from a tarball. If developers can't
install flex on a *nix box they need to get out of the business.
