Bug#841203: libfl_pic.a needs more than a binNMU

while this might be true, in practice it works.
I did a no change binNMU of flex, and now the reverse dependencies can be built correctly.

So, please binNMU and feel free to study flex issue more deeply if you care
(right now there is a libfl.a and libfl_pic.a with the same md5sum, so binNMUing it
won't make things worse, but fix at least reverse-dependencies)

thanks
