For comparison, here's another run of the same job, which
succeeded:
https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/jobs/3594096306

The difference is that in the success case Make doesn't think
it needs to rebuild ldlex.c or ldgram.c, but in the failure
case it does (and falls over because it can't). I don't know
why this is, maybe a random timestamp thing?

Anyway, to make the job reliable I think we need to have
flex and bison in the container.
