I'm seeing this while trying to set up Gentoo on my new MacBook (Intel, 2018 or so). The specific test that fails is "flex is executable" ("$lex is executable" in the source). But if I define LEX in the environment to be the full path to the flex executable (rather than just "flex"), that test, and the whole test suite, passes.

Huh, I was sure we had a Gentoo bug mentioning https://github.com/ambs/Config-AutoConf/issues/18 already but we don't. Anyway, it's that.
