BTW, why do we need to build flex for the host ? flex is part of the
few tools that we consider to be a dependency of Buildroot.

In toolchain/dependencies/dependencies.sh, we check that a host flex is
available. This tool (along with bison) is anyway mandatory to build
the toolchain.

So :

 * Either we consider flex to be part of Buildroot dependencies and
   Webkit should not depend on host-flex ;

 * Or we don't consider flex to be part of the Buildroot dependencies
   and we should fix all packages and toolchain that use flex without
   depending on it.

Sincerly,

Thomas
