 The line "%option" in *.l files may cause Solaris /usr/ccs/bin/lex to abort
 with the error "missing translation value."  This is a bug in Solaris lex.
-Use GNU Flex instead.   You can download ready-made flex binaries from

+sunfreeware.com don't seem to work, often because they are built against an

+version of GNU flex and/or bison from the latest stable sources.  See
