How odd.  My flex (on Ubuntu) also reports itself as 2.5.35.  But:

> grep int32 gengtype-lex.c
typedef int32_t flex_int32_t;
typedef uint32_t flex_uint32_t;
typedef int flex_int32_t;
typedef unsigned int flex_uint32_t;
	flex_int32_t yy_verify;
	flex_int32_t yy_nxt;
static yyconst flex_int32_t yy_ec[256] =
static yyconst flex_int32_t yy_meta[63] =

Why are you missing the typedefs?  I have no suggestion.  It seems like
it must be a bug in your version of flex.
