That's funny because that is the version that is released for cygwin.
AFAICT, the latest version on ftp.gnu.org, in /pub/gnu/non-gnu/flex,
is flex-2.5.4a.tar.gz.
Yes, good catch. The shell I was running from did not get a rehash after
I did "make install" in the flex directory. A double-check of the version
after opening a new window does show 2.5.4 as expected. This new version was
used by make since it got a new shell to execute the commands.
$ flex --version
flex version 2.5.4
I am not having any luck d/l'ing the source files for the .31 version from
the cygwin setup app so can't really do more debug than that...
