I wasn't aware that the lex Makefile directly supported the "bootstrap"
target in any release of the OS, but right you are!  I guess someone
did add bootstrap to lex. :-)

So ignore my previous advice - I guess the poster really isn't running
-current and running the global bootstrap rule won't help him.

That's it, I'm going to stop answering questions until I've actually
got the time to research them again first. :-)
