Problem with Flex and QNX

Hi:
I am trying to port Flex to the QNX Operating System ("UNIX-like" O/S
for PCs) and am having some problem.
QNX (in its infinite wisdom) has decided to use the 0x1E character as a
new-line as opposed to the standard 0x0A. This I believe caused Flex to
decide that there is an illegal character in the input and the scanner
"jammed".
After poking around in Flex, I think the "problem" in in the "Equivalent
Class" array used to map input characters to equvalent classes.
Unfortunately this array is generated by flex itself (as opposed to being
hardcoded) and it is not obvious how to "fix" this for the QNX environment.
Are there any Flex Gurus out there you have any suggestions? Many thanks
it advance.
