There are lots of differences, and there should be, given that flex
and original lex were developed independently.  They serve the same
purpose, but they do it in different ways.

They're different --- right.  But that doesn't explain what your actual
problem is.  You'll really have to be more specific.  What is the problem?
Have you tried flex on Solaris as an intermediate solution, to see whether
the problem is due to the move from Solaris to Linux, or the one from lex
to flex?  Pleas try to show some actual output that demonstrates the
problem, and don't forget to explain why that output is a problem to you.
