Description: Current flex version has some known bugs which make it unusable for compiling bluez in maintainer-mode, i.e., with -Werror.

The issue is an int in place of unsigned generating warnings of comparison between signed and unsigned int. I've talked to bluez maintainers and they pointed me to the patches applied by fedora.
Here is the link for the rpm with useful patches: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/source/SRPMS/flex-2.5.35-12.fc15.src.rpm

Additional info:
* package version: flex-2.5.35-3

Steps to reproduce:
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/bluetooth/bluez.git
./bootstrap-configure
make
This task depends upon
