[Cygwin64] Flex segfault

[Teemu Nätkinniemi]

I noticed during compiling Cocom that flex segfaults when it is trying
to run a basic test. After working around the fault I tried several
different scripts and they all fail.

I noticed during compiling Cocom that flex segfaults when it is
trying to run a basic test. After working around the fault I tried
several different scripts and they all fail.

Kai and I encountered the same just half an hour ago. It crashes right
within main for some reason. For the time being you can use my flex
package from the install area. It doesn't crash.

No crashes encountered, thanks a lot!
