Chu,
Note the underlined line above. "configure" is not all-knowing, and
sometimes makes mistakes. In this particular case, the program that
tested for yywrap in libfl.a failed (possibly for an unrelated reason),
and configure assumed that yywrap is not available in -lfl, and, judging
by the lower commands, decided not to link it in. This probably is a bug
in the configure script.
To find out why the test program failed, look in "config.log" for the line
"checking for yywrap in -lfl". The exact failed program, and the nature
of the failure (i.e., compiler errors) should be right around that line.
Once that is fixed (which might require editing "configure", or rerunning
autoconf if the project uses "configure.in").
