GNU Flex's libfl library provides nothing. Let us not refer to it. It

only causes build issues on some systems where it is not provided
in the standard location, or is not cross-compiled properly.

* Makefile (LEXLIB): Reference to variable removed.

* configure (lexlib): Variable removed.
(LEXLIB): config.make variable not generated.

* parser.l (yywrap): Provide this trivial function as inline.
