All versions of Solaris include AT&T-based lex & yacc.

Modern versions of Solaris also have flex & bison available - a quick
check of --version output on our various build machines says:

Solaris 11 (2011):	flex 2.5.35		bison (GNU Bison) 2.3
Solaris 10 (2005):	flex 2.5.4		bison (GNU Bison) 1.875

Though I currently only worry about making sure stuff builds on Solaris 11,
since the versions older than that only get bug fixes, not new versions.

End users may try to build on the older releases though - but once they
start downloading and building open source, they'll probably do flex &
bison before they get to building X.
