I've tested on multiple Solaris systems, both with and without 'flex' in the
path - see trac ticket for further details.
The more I look at the Singular package in Sage, the more I realise it is a
complete mess. There are 5 copies of install-sh for example. Sage's spkg-install
has options that are not listed as options to the Singular 'configure' script,
and don't do what their names imply (i.e. --without-bison and --without-lex).
I've just downloaded the latest Singular source, and that is no less of a mess.
So both Sage's spkg-install and the current Singular source code are a bit poor
in my honest opinion.
As such, I think this hack is the best we can do.
It at least allows Sage to build when flex is not installed.
