// is fine

it looks like you somehow have parallel build enabled ... maybe you exported
MAKEFLAGS instead of MAKEOPTS ?

That was it, I unset MAKEFLAGS and the package built just fine. However, I've
always had both MAKEFLAGS and MAKEOPTS set since I initially did a stage 1 build
on the system in question, the first in my profile and the second in make.conf,
the value is '-j 3 -l 5.0' ( dual processors ). Why did this work with the
2.5.4a-r5 version of flex?

that's the nature of race conditions

dont use MAKEFLAGS, you'll break packages which have workarounds for
non-parallel friendly builds
