On S10 x64 machine (v20z box) with S10U5, filebench is not compiling with flex and bison packages downloaded from sunfreeware.
Here is the configure error with flex:
bash$ ./configure

Now, If I uninstall flex and try, it fails during make:
bash$ make package

As a workaround, using the binaries provided in /usr/sfw/bin seem to work.
