Yes, that's the idea, it should define YY_NO_UNISTD_H as
needed.  Something like the following.  Does this work for you?

autoconf: don't assume unistd.h when checking lex
* lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_PROG_LEX_YYTEXT_DECL):
Define YY_NO_UNISTD_H if there's no unistd.h; this
works around a flex bug.  Problem reported by Peter Rosin in:
