[Bug 745804] flex fails to build on Windows

[GStreamer (GNOME Bugzilla)]

--- Comment #11 from Philippe Renon <philippe_renon at yahoo.fr> ---
I have been able to build master on windows. 

There are a issues with flex obviously but also bison.

m4.exe is also problematic. It keeps crashing. Up to twice per recipe.
I get a crash report popup each time but it does not stop the build and does
not seem to have any impact on the build result. Strange...
But it is a real pain as you have to sit and wait for the popups during the
whole build to let it continue. Takes ages on windows ;)

I am going to start the build with a fresh install of mingw/msys as the one I
am using has been tweaked beyond recognition.

I'll do a more detailed report later.
