While reading the info page of automake, I have found the solution.
( info:/autoconf/Particular Programs )

It is to automake to decide which library is needed whetver the flex one or 
the lex one. ( AC_PROG_LEX )

So the -lfl should be removed also from the KOFFICE_1_2_BRANCH, if it is not 
done already. (Can anybody do it?)

And now I also understand why KDEPIM using bison directly is bad. The reason 
is that automake has a check for yacc too. ( AC_PROG_YACC ) So perhaps the 
future Latex import filter should use yacc too for wider compactibility, 
especially with non-GNU systems.

Have a nice day/evening/night!
