Hi, 

trying to build the original binutils-2.15-tarball on a system without
having flex nor lex installed, causes this build error:

/usr/src/rpm/BUILD/rtems-4.7-sh-rtems4.7-binutils-2.15/binutils-2.15/ld/configure: line 4417: flex: command not found
checking for flex... lex
checking for yywrap in -ll... no
checking lex output file root...
/usr/src/rpm/BUILD/rtems-4.7-sh-rtems4.7-binutils-2.15/binutils-2.15/ld/configure: line 4505:

make: *** [configure-ld] Error 1
