[Bug 745804] flex fails to build on Windows

[GStreamer (GNOME Bugzilla)]

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745804

--- Comment #13 from Philippe Renon <philippe_renon at yahoo.fr> ---
m4 crashes on each invocation but without any noticeable effect on the build
(as if crashing when exiting). The build proceeds and finishes as expected.
But it is a major pain as you need to baby sit the build and close all crash
popups as they happen.

But again, I have tweaked my mingw/msys a lot by installing all sorts of
additional modules.

On my system m4 is gotten from /bin and m4 --version yields:

$ m4 --version

I am not totally comfortable with cerbero and don't know what needs to be done
from a regular shell and what needs to be done from the cerbero shell.

I'll try to find time next week to start the build from scratch with a clean
mingw/msys install.
