Configure checks for this.  IWBN if you could find out why
HAVE_FLEXLEXER_YY_CURRENT_BUFFER is not defined by configure.

Btw: if FlexLexer.h needs patching, it means that the distribution
(FreeBSD /ports?) is shipping a broken combination of the flex and g++
toolchain.  Please report this as bug and get this fixed rather than
patching LilyPond.  This issue was resolved over 2.5 years ago, it has
nothing to do with LilyPond, apart from using flex with g++.

Yes, please update texinfo one way or the other.  We're already
stabilizing for lilypond 2.6; please avoid shipping anything else than
the latest stable version, if at all possible.

This patch was taken from CVS HEAD.

Thanks,
