When flex is not available, binutils sources default to the
'missing' script, but the current script available is not in
the format expected by the 'configure' script:
$ ./configure
...
/usr/src/binutils/missing: Unknown `--run' option
Try `/usr/src/binutils/missing --help' for more information
configure: WARNING: `missing' script is too old or missing
...

By pass the 'missing' script use by directly installing 'flex'
in the container.
