I'll take this.
We now have the opposite problem; lex is so old s/w doesn't build on it anymore.  pkgsrc has been masking this for a while, especially with their new FLEX_REQD directive.

Bug #496: flex upgrade
http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/496

Author: Peter Avalos
Status: In Progress
Priority: Normal
Assignee: John Marino
Category: 
Target version: 


So here's a patch that will bring in the latest version of flex, and will
put it in contrib/.  I'd appreciate some feedback.  If I don't hear any
objections, I'll plan on importing this in about a week.

Another possible thing we could do is move the library building into
lib/libln/.  What do you think about that?

Thanks,
Peter
