Subject: [PATCH] build: make it possible to disable the build of the flex
 program

The flex program uses fork(), which isn't available on noMMU
systems. However, the libfl library does not use fork(), and be used
by other programs/libraries.

Therefore, it makes sense to provide an option to disable the build of
the flex program.
