The configure of your package checks for flex, even though your package might not contain .l files that flex uses to generate parsers. Your ebuild does not list a dependency on flex as per http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/misc/dindex/sys-devel/flex .

Either disable the flex test during configure to avoid false positive, or add the dependency upon flex if it's needed by your package.

Thanks in advance,
Diego

Fixed in cvs.

Although the .{c,h} files produced by compiling the .y and .l files are available in the tarball, these files can be removed by running "make maitainer-clean-generic". 
I've added flex and bison to DEPEND, just to be on the safe side of the fence.
