 $ export M4=`which gm4`
 $ if test -z "$M4" || test -z "`$M4 --help 2>&1 |grep prefix-builtins 
2>/dev/null`"; then M4=`which m4`; fi
 $ $M4 --help |grep prefix-builtins

If the last command above is a string containing prefix-builtins, they building 
flex with M4 set like that. Otherwise download 
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.16.tar.gz, unpack it, configure with:

 $ ./configure --prefix=$HOME --program-transform-name='s|^|g|'
 $ make all install
 $ export M4=$HOME/bin/gm4

And try building flex again.
