The file *might* not be up-to-date.  If so, it should be reported to
<https://bugs.php.net/>, if not already done.

Well, there have been several warnings regarding "invalid white space
character in directive" in zend_language_scanner.l, which lead me to
this (premature?) conclusion.  I have no experience building PHP on
Solaris, but only on Windows.  There, I have flex version 2.5.4 and re2c
version 0.13.5, which work fine to build master (i.e. PHP 7.0.0dev), so
your versions should be fine as well.

I don't know what's the problem on your system, and I can only guess
that it *might* be related to unrecognized line endings.
