Sorry, the test redirects its output to /dev/null when testing lex, but 
I'm guessing you don't even have lex installed.  Please post the 
config.log when you run it without the --without-flex and 
--without-bison flags.  You should only see the above error if it could 
not find both flex and bison on your system, in which case it resorts to 
lex/yacc and does the test you see above (which is actually never going 
to succeed and needs to be fixed; I guess you're the first person so far 
to not use flex/bison).  You can check AC_LBL_LEX_AND_YACC in m4/sf.m4 
to see what it is doing to check for the existence of flex/bison.
