Hi Danilo,

I have had it in the past and adding the M4 dep will solve it, whether you get 
this error or not is very OS dependent. You should open a PR for it if you do 
(like I should have done when I fixed it :P )

Hello list,

on a clean system we are currently installing GCC-4.9.3-2.25 with the following 
command:

eb GCC-4.9.3-2.25.eb -r

It exits with an error while trying to install flex-2.5.39 (binutils has flex 
as dependency):

M4 is needed and is not a dependency in the easyconfig.

Did anyone hit this error?
