Hi William

I have found the problem, it seems that during the configure check, it 
use quite a bit of logic to determine if flex is lex, and fails. In our 
builds this is so, we can bypass this test by appending 
ac_cv_prog_lex_is_flex=yes to the configure option,

Configure then runs through, compiles and tests ok now
