On what basis are you making this assertion? If you rgrep MAINTAINER_MODE in the top level directory, you shall see that configurehas indeed been comp[iled with MAINTAINER_MODE, and, moreever, if flex does not exist, the rules file touches scan.c before calling configure in any case. Indeed, looking at http://people.debian.org/~igloo/[EMAIL PROTECTED], one casn see most buildd's do not have this issue either. BTW, reading the build log, I can that the configure step succeeded (which tells us that the MAINTAINER_MODE stuff worked; since none of the files was to be redone). It seems that bison is hte one calling for flex; if bison needs flex in these conditions, shouldn't bison depend on flex? manoj -- The truth about a woman often lasts longer than the woman is true.
