Adding -l does not work with all versions of lex. But, it should always
work for flex, so I finally came up with adding

    # Work around a problem with Flex Version 2.5.31 which needs -l flag.
    # Since all versions of flex support -l, don't check for the
    # specific version.
    test "x$LEX" = xflex && LEX='flex -l'

after AC_PROG_LEX in texk/web2c/configure.in.
