First of all, why are you trying to build 64 bit Wine? It won't actually run anything at this point. I suspect what you really want is to build 32 bit Wine on a 64 bit system, in which case you should be following the instructions here: http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit

As for "flex," it's a dependency that needs to be installed. You should find it in your distro's repository. That goes for any other package that configure complains about.
