Reland "Fix dependency loop with flex" I'm adding a prebuilt_build_tool module for flex so that it can be used by genrules. But since flex uses flex during it's own build, and prebuilt_build_tool can't handle the loop, explicitly change the name to "flex_bin", and use stem so that the final binary is still called flex. Bug: 128690776 Test: treehugger Change-Id: I6a818cbd297f951552d2890374787eb40c074463
This is flex, the fast lexical analyzer generator.
flex is a tool for generating scanners: programs which recognize lexical patterns in text.
The flex codebase is kept in Git on GitHub.

The flex distribution contains the following files which may be of interest:
You need the following tools to build flex from the maintainer's repository:
In cases where the versions of the above tools matter, the file configure.ac will specify the minimum required versions.
Once you have all the necessary tools installed, life becomes simple. To prepare the flex tree for building, run the script:
./autogen.sh
in the top level of the flex source tree.
This script calls the various tools needed to get flex ready for the GNU-style configure script to be able to work.
From this point on, building flex follows the usual routine:
configure && make && make install
