[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #52708] MXE failure on build-flex on Ubuntu 17.10 VM for flex 2.6.4

[Marshall]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #52708 (project octave):

I tried the change (I think), and I got the same errors. How I tested:
I changed build-flex.mk back to the 2.6.4 version.
hg -v pull
hg -v update
touch src/build-flex.mk
time make hg-octave-dist
* fails same way on build-flex
comparing the log with the last log they are almost identical accept for an
additional line with

(cd '/home/marshall/mxe-octave/tmp-build-flex/flex-2.6.4' && patch -p1 -u) <
/home/marshall/mxe-octave/src/build-flex-1-fixes.patch
patching file src/scan.l

showing the patch seems to have been applied, and a line showing  make ... -j
'1' instead of make ... -j '4', a lot of re-ordered lines, and the final times
were different. I could try building from a completely clean build/new repo,
but I don't expect different results and it takes forever to build from that
point. I'll do it though if you think that will give useful results.
