From the relevant info page:

    If you do not supply your own version of `yywrap()', then you must
    either use `%option noyywrap' (in which case the scanner behaves as
    though `yywrap()' returned 1), or you must link with `-lfl' to
    obtain the default version of the routine, which always returns 1.
