Well, yes, but that is always true.  build-tools are only used for
buildkernel.  However, if an 8.x lex cannot build a 9.x kernel, then having
lex be a build-tool (or cross-tool, ru@ knows which category better than I)
will let a 'make kernel-toolchain' followed by 'make buildkernel' of a 9.x
source tree work on an 8.x host.
