          <para>Normally, building flex is done in two stages. A first
	  programs, which is used to generate the source of a second one,
	  which is then compiled. When using cross-compilation, the first
	  program is generated on the build system. However, due to a bug
	  in configure, the presence of some function is tested only on the
	  host system. If this function is not found on the build system, the
	  build fails. This can be prevented by disabling the two stage
	  build.</para>
