Added hack to configure.ac to work around bug in flex 2.5.36 and

2.5.37 that prevents the builds from being completely green.
According to http://sourceforge.net/p/flex/bugs/140/, this should
be fixed in the next release of flex.  The hack is confined to
just configure.ac so it'll be easy to remove.
