Well, I don't have an example here so I can't be sure about the syntax but
it's something along the lines of:

lex.yy.c: test.ll test.tab.h
	flex ...

test.tab.c test.tab.h: test.yy
	bison ...

Or something like that. However, I don't remember there being an issue with
whether you run flex or bison first. However, bison does need to be run
before you can compile the lex output. That can be acheived much more easily
by declaring the dependancy:

lex.yy.o: lex.yy.c test.tab.h
