Andrew:

You have been misled by the flex documentation regarding the purpose of
libfl.
It is NOT necessary to link a flex scanner to libfl. Flex generates
fully-contained scanners. Libfl merely contains two "default" functions,
main()
and yywrap(). If you provide your own yywrap() and main(), then you do not
need
to link to libfl. See %option yywrap, and %option main.
