This is an interesting idea. I wanted to do something similar about two
years ago, but didn't have enough time. Now the sources are gone, so I can't
tell you what I did exactly

If you look at the sources to libfl.a you will see that it provides only two
small functions: a main() function which just returns yylex(), and a
yywrap() function which returns 1.
So, provide your own yywrap() function.
