Re: [Astlinux-devel] [Astlinux-users] Survey on use of features broken following kernel version bum

package/flex/flex.mk

When you run ./configure --help in build_ixxx/flex-2.5.4, you see the
following output below.

flex.mk specifies however:

                --bindir=/usr/bin \
                --sbindir=/usr/sbin \
                --libexecdir=/usr/lib \
                --sysconfdir=/etc \
                --datadir=/usr/share \
                --localstatedir=/var \
                --mandir=/usr/man \
                --infodir=/usr/info \

My build process stopped because these are un-recognized options. Is is
my build environment? Haven't had this problem in the past.
