[Bug 745804] flex fails to build on Windows

[GStreamer (GNOME Bugzilla)]

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

--- Comment #30 from Philippe Renon <philippe_renon at yahoo.fr> ---
I guess my last message was not clear enough...

My approach was to install a minimal MinGW/Msys and then proceed with "cerbero
bootstrap" and "cerbero package gstreamer-1.0". The idea was to discover and
address issue as they arose, with the goal to find out exactly which msys
packages are needed.

This allowed me to discover that in addition to msys-base, the following msys
packages are required : msys-binutils, msys-flex, msys-bison and msys-perl.
With those, both bootstrap and gstreamer-1.0 compile fine. 

Remains the really weird issue with git m4 being used. It is strange because
msys m4 is also present (installed as a dependency of msys-bison/flex). And
msys comes before git in PATH.

Note that "cerbero package gstreamer-1.0" is not done from a cerbero shell but
from a regular bash.
