error building base 3.14.7 w/ cygwin 1.5.13-1

["Dale L. Brewe" <brewe@aps.anl.gov>]

I'm getting the error message below if I try to build epics base 3.14.7 (I 
also tried 3.14.5 earlier w/ the same result) with cygwin under w2k. I 
would appreciate any hints. The version of cygwin is 1.5.13-1. This is my 
first stab at building epics w/ cygwin.

make[3]: Entering directory 
`/cygdrive/d/epics/base-3.14.7/src/dbStatic/O.cygwin-x86'
.../../../bin/cygwin-x86/e_flex.exe 
-S../../../include/flex.skel.static  ../dbLex.l
"../dbLex.l", line 25: illegal character
"../dbLex.l", line 27: unknown error processing section 1
....
etc.

Here is a segment of dbLex.l starting at line 18:
static int yyreset(void)
{
        BEGIN INITIAL;
        return(0);
}

%}
