I see that there have been no updates in over two years.  It seems that
the most recent version that doesn't break other software is the version
we should be using.

BLFS does not track all the packages that use flex (or any other LFS
package), so figuring out all the packages that need it and putting them
in the individual packages would be a major problem for us.
