(1) - you don't need an external flex compiler or library to build or run the
standard EPICS tools.

That depends on the particular cross-tool setup that you're using, and I'm not
going to be able to help you very much there I'm afraid.

You're outside my range of expertise there. If you're using a Debian-derived
Linux and tool-chain or similar that provides those libs pre-built for ARM
then you should be able to fetch and install them using the standard tools,
but that's outside the realm of the EPICS developers.

If you're wanting to run MEDM or EDM on an ARM system you might be better off
getting an ARM-based development host and dropping the cross-build idea. I'm
not saying that a cross-build of the extensions tools is impossible (although
I don't know anyone who's tried it), but native compilation is generally much
simpler.
