 You're welcome, though I don't understand why that worked. The build
 succeeded on our buildbot infrastructure, on all versions of macOS from
 10.5–10.13, using macOS flex (not needing MacPorts flex). I wonder if
 something unique is wrong with macOS flex on your computer. Could you show
 me the output of this command:

 {{{
 /usr/bin/flex --version
 }}}
