flex and bison are both GNU utilities.
flex is GNU's version of lex, the lexical parser. It takes text & processes
them into tokens. Then you use yacc (or bison or byacc) to operate on
those tokens.
For the most part, flex & bison is to compile gcc because the system
lex/yacc are deficient/broken/not powerful enough. And you need gcc for
the same reasons ;-}
As for tokdefs.h, I can't help you, I couldn't find it on our system, but
that doesn't mean it isn't there.
Hope this helps :)
