New version of flex and compiling binutils

Hi,

Sorry no.  Flex is not a component of the binutils, so I am not familiar with 
its development.  The project has a web site though:

   http://flex.sourceforge.net/

and a help mailing list:

   flex-help@lists.sourceforge.net

The flex sources have a NEWS file describing big changes, and you can see the 
version in the flex CVS repository here:

   http://flex.cvs.sourceforge.net/flex/flex/NEWS?view=markup

Hope that helps.

Cheers
   Nick
