It's not libfl.a -- it's libtool. Libtool policy (as of last July or
so) is to only build DLLs if all dependencies are also shared libs.
There are a number of good reasons for this; check the mailing list
archives.
Short answer: try to build flex as a shared library, or ask the
maintainer to do so. Sometimes it's as simple as running 'autoreconf'
in the (flex) source directory...
