Having issues with flex 2.6.2 and doxygen as well. Supposed to be fixed in 
2.6.3, but as mentioned above, that one breaks binutils, etc...

Can we temporarily revert back to flex 2.6.0? It seems the update is breaking 
too many things, including numerous other layers, and the fix is not yet 
avaialble.
