I'd also like to recommend a new book out in the Nutshell series:

	lex & yacc  -  Mason/Brown 
			A Nutshell Handbook 
			O'Reilly & Associates

I found it a little easier to follow and much more concise than
Compiler Design & Construction

and much more in-depth with more interesting examples than 
The UNIX Programming Environment (which is apparently up
for revision, being a bit out of date).
