IIRC, you don't always have to link with libflx.a  I vaguely remeber that 
if you supply some specific functions, then the libflx.a is not needed.

The C code should be *very* portable. That's the whole point behind
flex, that the code be very portable.  If it isn't, I'd suspect a flawed
compiler
before I'd suspect that flex was non-portable...
