I'm going to run a trunk build tonight with flex removed and see what
happens. This is a known solid host so any error should denote a
problem.
Here is what I think is happening:
after the patch if we:
ls -la --time-style=full-iso scan.*

-rw-r--r-- 1 dave users 136584 2005-06-01 18:44:55.000000000 scan.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 dave users 21045 2005-06-01 18:44:55.000000000 scan.l
---
the resolution of the timestamp is insufficient to trigger the scan.c
rebuild if
scan.l is written during the same rtc second as scan.c. Actually we
want scan.c regenerated as we have patched scan.l. But it's luck of the
draw if the timestamps differ, and we have no flex at that point
anyway. I think we must:
touch -t 0303311951 scan.l
make
make install
touch scan.l
make
make install
IMHO, sorry if I am posting some of this twice, just clarifying!
