Flex.

They are documented as prerequisites for building from svn.

Documented prerequisites may as well be documented:

   in the cellar...in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a
   disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”

(Sorry, I like Doug Adams.)

The problem being that when "upgrading" to a more current stable release,
the development tools get stripped out, I don't remember which ones
I need and running the configure/build doesn't tell me what I am
missing anew.

Therefore, prerequisites should be tested for and any missing
should be directly announced.  I'll supply a patch to gcc-patches,
once my fixinc thing is in.  Thank you! - Bruce
