I have a suspicion this is related to the 'make clean' target wiping  
out the maplexer.c output, and flex then rebuilding your maplexer.c  
when you issue 'make'.  Compounding this is your flex isn't new enough  
to be generating the maplexer.c that you need (MapServer needs a  
bleeding-edge flex).  One thing to try is to fetch http://svn.osgeo.org/mapserver/branches/branch-5-0/mapserver/maplexer.c 
  and overwrite your existing one and then reissue make.  Hopefully  
this gets you on your way.
