Adding that it will build with "-nls" but not with "nls"

Also this is the only system out of 6 that fails this way, all others will
build flex fine with "nls", the toochain has been completely rebuilt and system
has been completely remerged except for flex with nls - it is the only package
that fails.

bug is due to you not using -O1 or better in CFLAGS

Yes, indeed it is. Thought I had -O2 in there all this time :)
Server performance has been just fine.

fixed in cvs
