I don't know where this one is coming from, it would be
helpful to have more details.  What happens if you run
that command directly from the root of your bison directory?

        ./tests/testsuite -C tests

While building Bison does not need Flex, indeed (we ship
the generated file), we do need a lex (not necessarily flex)
to run make check: the examples are extracted and compiled
(including parser and scanner) on the user side.

We can also skip examples/calc++ if there is not lex (it's the
only example that uses it).
