you're right, it fails to build with a noMMU toolchain because of fork():

flex-filter.o: In function `filter_apply_chain':
filter.c:(.text+0x1bc): undefined reference to `fork'

So, either we make flex package depend on MMU, or we prevent the flex
binary to be compiled. I prefer the second option.

I'll try to see how we can do it.

Regards,

Vincent.
