"Target packages" are target packages, so they are cross-compiled and
installed in the target filesystem, i.e output/target, and are
therefore present in the filesystem images generated in output/images.

If you need the host variant of flex (i.e built with the native
compiler) then your package should have a dependency on host-flex.
There is no option in menuconfig to enable host-flex, because it is
generally just a build dependency of another package.

Best regards,

Thomas
