Commit fe6a9e5e9d4046173a60235f8fd9a3b4746929c6 missed the fact that
m4 has a dependency on wide char support, so this dependency should be
propagated to flex.

Fixes:

<id>urn:sha1:240843cce36850de37719940e7578c2e3b7d041b</id>
<content type='text'>
Since fe6a9e5e9d (flex: needs M4 at runtime), the autobuilders have
been producing a number of flex related build failures. They have been
hard to track down, because even on the same machine, with the same
Git commit ID and the same configuration, the failure could not be
reproduced.

However, a close inspection of flex's config.log file allowed to find
out what the problem was. In its configure script, flex uses the
host-flex to generate a minimal example, and find out the name of the
output file of flex.

When the M4 environment is passed when building the target flex, it
also affects the *execution* of the host-flex, which tries to use
/usr/bin/m4 (which doesn't exist in the autobuilder machines) instead
of the one built in $(HOST_DIR)/usr/bin/m4. So generating the minimal
example fails. And this is where what I could reproduce and what the
autobuilders script produce differ: in my case, even though host-flex
fails to run, it creates an empty lex.yy.c, which is enough to make
the configure script happy. In the context of the autobuild scripts,
this file is apparently not created at all, for an unknown reason, and
this leads to the configure script to abort.

The fix is to set ac_cv_path_M4. This will affect the default m4 used
by the target flex, but it will not affect the m4 used by the
host-flex. It allows the test made during the configure script to work
properly, and therefore should fix the issue seen in the autobuilders.

For proper runtime execution, flex requires m4 to be
installed. Passing a M4 variable at configure time is needed,
otherwise flex on the target will try to use a 'm4' binary with a
build machine path.

Fixes bug #4988.

The flex binary uses fork() so it breaks on !MMU builds.
Since we usually don't require flex in the target and the common
scenario is that we just want libfl in staging reverse the options so
that BR2_PACKAGE_FLEX just builds and install libfl.a and change the
LIBFL option to BR2_PACKAGE_FLEX_BINARY to install the binary in the
target.

From now on, packages only need to select the BR2_PACKAGE_GETTEXT
option and depend on the 'gettext' package to get the necessary i18n
libraries installed on the target.
