What version of Flex do you have?

$ flex --version
flex 2.6.0

On what OS is this?  I downloaded the 2.6.0 source and installed it on my Mac, and rebuilt all the Flex files, and 
didn't get that error; perhaps there are changes your OS has made.

$ cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS \n \l

$ cat /etc/lsb-release 
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=16.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=xenial
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS"

Does that help?

Yes, but....

I have an Ubuntu 16.04 VM, and it has:

        ubu16-04$ cat /etc/issue
        Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS \n \l

        ubu16-04$ cat /etc/lsb_release
        cat: /etc/lsb_release: No such file or directory
        ubu16-04$ cat /etc/lsb-release
        DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
        DISTRIB_RELEASE=16.04
        DISTRIB_CODENAME=xenial
        DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS"

and I'm not having this problem.

dpkg -l flex prints

What does it print on your machine?  Perhaps you have a different version of Flex (I just did an update on the machine 
before doing the build).

If not, what happens if you do "make distclean" and reconfigure?
