Many thanks for replying.  Timing was great as  I'd set this aside to start 
digging this weekend.  I used the shell script identified in message 15 and 
make has progressed a lot farther ... tracing metafonts right now.

To dev team, esp. Graham - there is an explicit gcc 3.1.1 reference on the 
2.5.16 Installation pages in the section "Flex-2.5.4a and gcc-3.x":

"Flex 2.5.4a does not produce g++-3.1.1 compliant C++ code. To compile 
LilyPond with gcc-3.1.1 you may do"

Changing that to "... To compile Lilypond with gcc-3.1.1 or higher" might have 
helped me.




Another aspect threw me: I'd successfully compiled Lilypond 2.4.5 from scratch 
without issues, but with the same gcc and flex.
