flex 2.5.35

Hi,

I'm trying to port flex 2.5.35 to submit a patch to update gnuwin32
(unltimately to port xxdiff - which uses the bison bridge rule and flex
2.5.4a is too old). I was hoping to get the benefit of the other gnuwin32
users' experience when doing this.

Now I'm guessing that it'll be easiest to convert the multi-process filter
feature to use either native threads or GNU pth, but I also have some other
problems:

tables.o(.text+0x281): In function `yytbl_write32':
c:/flex-2.5.35/tables.c:287: undefined reference to `htonl'
tables.o(.text+0x2e2): In function `yytbl_write16':
c:/flex-2.5.35/tables.c:306: undefined reference to `htons'

These are available in MinGW but I can't figure out how to link them
(-lwsock32 doesn't work because the symbol has different mangling, it
seems). Any suggestions?

filter.o(.text+0x947): In function `filter_fix_linedirs':
c:/flex-2.5.35/filter.c:398: undefined reference to `_imp__regexec'
filter.o(.text+0x993):c:/flex-2.5.35/filter.c:347: undefined reference to
`_imp__regexec'
regex.o(.text+0x31): In function `flex_regcomp':
c:/flex-2.5.35/regex.c:56: undefined reference to `_imp__regcomp'
regex.o(.text+0x6c):c:/flex-2.5.35/regex.c:61: undefined reference to
`_imp__regerror'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Now this must be a gnuwin32 issue - I suppose I'm not setting linker paths
correctly. How do you link to the regex library? I've copied to MinGW/lib
the contents of gnuwin32/lib for each file that doesn't exist in MinGW/lib
already.
