Grub2 requires Flex 3.5.35 or greater which has not been installed yet. If your host does not have Flex then install it now via the distro's package manager.

Prepare GRUB for compilation: 

./configure --prefix=/usr \
    --build=${CLFS_HOST} --host=${CLFS_TARGET} \
    --sysconfdir=/etc --disable-werror

Compile the package: 

make

Install the package: 

make DESTDIR=${CLFS} install

Details on this package are located in Section 10.63.3, “Contents of GRUB.”
