See the Makefile in /usr/src/*/flex

It tells you about 'bootstrapping lex'.

BTW, even though this question has come up about every third day for the 
past two weeks, I don't envision this one going into the FAQ.  The reason is 
that this is a temporary (I hope) problem that will be fixed by release of a 
new set of binaries.

Is there a plan to do a checkpoint release?  While NetBSD 1.0 may not be 
ready, there should be a point at which the system will be ready to "turn a 
corner" on the way.  If the system is getting close to 'ready' then there is 
no reason, but if there is still a considerable amount of work to do getting 
ready, a checkpoint release might not be a bad idea.  0.93 or something.

Just a random thought.  No pressure.
