indeed. Actually, it is checked by configure, but the result isn't used to 
abort the build process in case it wasn't found.

That's during dependency generation (note the '-M' option to g++), 
and so the error is harmless. Nevertheless, I should fix it.

hmm, something is missing in this error log. Did you paste everything ?
The line starting with ': /home/...' doesn't appear to be complete.
Flex should be called to generate 'lex.yy.c'. Is it not ?
Assuming that it's a copy&paste error, and the real error is still that
'lex.yy.c'
wasn't generated, I'd need to know what flex actually does generate.

That's right. Generated files (such as Grammar.hh and Lexer.cc) are 
in the build tree, not the source tree).

PS: As the ctool backend isn't really used by anybody yet, and 
    as the C++ backend becomes useable as a (much more powerful) 
    C parser, too, I'm tempted to just remove the ctool backend 
    from the build system...
