Failed to minify when used with create-react-app

Describe the bug
We use sinon as a part of our application built with create-react-app
After upgrading to v5.1.0 the npm run build command failed with an error:

See #1829. Once it's approved this should be good. Be aware that once Sinon 6 ships this will break your build again should you choose to upgrade to that (meaning you need to fix your own build to work with ES2015 modules or disable use of the module keyword entirely in your bundler).

This should be closed now that Sinon 5.1.1 is out and 5.1.0 has been deprecated.
