Adding sys-devel/flex to DEPEND fixed the issue for me, so it is a pretty easy fix.

Usually this bug also means we're missing a dependency on bison as well, but in this case, we're not. I checked configure.ac to see if the dependency is actually on bison or if we could use virtual/yacc. It actually uses AG_GST_BISON_CHECK so I think the dependency on bison is warranted.

Fixed.

Not sure why no one from gstreamer@ touched this bug...
