That's what I thought too, but countless of users in #garnome are a vocal 
testament to the contrary.  So unless someone checks if this is actually 
the case and libIDL can compile (and not end up with unresolved symbols 
that in the case of having flex are provided by libfl, because this is the 
main issue), I'd advise to just put the patch in for now.
