When trying to build cerbero bootstrap on MacOSX, flex cannot generate its
document without a proper texi2dvi utility.

make[2]: *** [flex.pdf] Error 2
make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [install] Error 2
Running command 'make install'

Recipe 'flex' failed at the build step 'install'
Select an action to proceed:
[0] Enter the shell
[1] Rebuild the recipe from scratch
[2] Rebuild starting from the failed step
[3] Skip recipe
[4] Abort

We can avoid this error by installing MacTex (https://tug.org/mactex/), but
it's not good due to huge size of image if someone don't use tex on Mac.

Another solution which I proposed is just to make disable doc building.
