You're right. sieve-lex.c had only the following dummy main function.
---
main() { return 0; }

When I executed make after I installed flex and bison and deleted sieve-lex.c,
sieve-lex.c was generated correctly.

IMHO, It's better to notice users to install flex and bison when
they're not installed.
Can we do it when building sources?
