The issue comes from GnuWin32 having a version of flex that is too old for Angle. In WebKit land we've told people to install the GNU tools from the GnuWin32 distribution (gperf, etc.) and unfortunately the version there is outdated. Hence the discovery of win_flex. I suppose a better solution would be to have a real configure check for flex in qtbase and see if the version in PATH is new enough. We can still try to use a copy of qt5.git/gnuwin32 as fallback if we can locate it.
