The file *might* not be up-to-date. If so, it should be reported to <https://bugs.php.net/>, if not already done. > Flex 2.5.39,REV=2014.05.06 and re2c 0.13.5,REV=2012.03.15 were > installed from the solaris csw repositories, /opt/csw/bin was > pre-pended to the PATH variable, and /opt/csw/lib was pre-pended to > LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but make failed with the same result.

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. -- Christoph M. Becker
