I checked the Config.in for > flex and the package address is incorrect (http://flex.sourceforge.net/) "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.
