I ran the versions that came with the last Cygwin I installed (B20, I
think), and have used both bison and flex on several projects over the
last year with no problems. I used the binaries that came with the
distribution.

I didn't open the can of worms that is associated with compiling a
Unix/Gnu/configure-script style of package with VC. I just ran the
cygwin install, then added the cygwin stuff in my PATH and ran flex,
bison, and gcc through 'make' from my usual Win NT DOS window prompt.
