Specifically: see Bug #2493 (especially Comment #15)

https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2493#c15

Unfortunately the latest cygwin version of flex causes some problems 
when building from Windows Wireshark 1.0 source.

You can either follow the suggestions in the above referenced comment or
download the latest development Wireshark SVN (which has a correction 
for this problem).
