ok thanks, for confirmation.
so cgf should repackage it. it's obviously a bug.

I think so also because this isn't the behavior that occurs on linux or BSD.

Umm, which behavior are you talking about? The automatic conversion of CRLF
line endings to LF? This is Cygwin-specific behavior, and has nothing to do
with Linux or BSD. It's there to avoid complaints from people who use, say,
notepad on binary mounts to edit their .flex files.
I suspected as much.

Modified build commands would be
./configure; make LDFLAGS="/usr/lib/automode.o"

<PEDANTIC> The above should really be ./configure; make LDLIBS="/usr/lib/automode.o" ^^^^
make LIBS="-lintl /usr/lib/automode.o". There is no LDLIBS in the flex source, and when setting LIBS the -lintl is needed because the LIBS in the Makefile had that value.
It may not matter for linking in a .o file, but it certainly will matter if
a -l form is used (as you tried earlier).
