Maybe nix expects a newer version of flex. (e.g. [0] mentions a similar problem.) Is there a newer version in the ports tree? Another wild guess: maybe your version of flex doesn't understand long options like --outfile. You can replace --outfile with -o, but unfortunately I don't see a short form for --header-file. Maybe just add a command to rename the generated header file instead of passing --header-file ? If you can get it working with FreeBSD's flex, a patch would probably be appreciated (I'm not in charge here, but I am guessing we want to maintain FreeBSD compatability?)
