Here is a simple demonstration of the problem:

    $ cat xr.l
    %option main
    %%
    ya printf("zu");
    %%

    $ make xr
    lex  -t xr.l > xr.c
    /bin/sh: lex: command not found
    make: *** [<builtin>: xr.c] Error 127
    rm xr.c

now of course you can work around this by "make LEX=flex xr" or similar, but no
major Linux distro makes you do this, as they already include "lex" vis-a-vis
the symlink to flex.
