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.
