That's a good question.

I do not know the answer, as I was not involved in producing the flex binary.

Perhaps you should talk to the person who checked the binary into the repository.

This is not a libpcap issue; all we could do is to have the configure script try to run flex without the command-line 
arguments and, if that fails, report that flex doesn't work, tell the person trying to build libpcap that they need to 
somehow arrange to have a flex that works, and fail.
