Similar remarks apply, BTW, to other EPICS tools. For instance, I
noticed in the past that dbExpand silently ignores the last line of a
dbd include file if it doesn't end in a newline. This has caused
endless grief to Windows users, as editors for Windows generally don't
automatically add a newline at the end.
If this hasn't already been fixed, I propose to put it on the list of
things to be done before the next release of base. I'd say chances
that people rely on the faulty behaviour are practically zero.

I would have no problem in including a fix for that in base, I just
can't see how to modify dbStaticLib to do it myself. Patches from
Flex/Antelope experts welcomed.

IMHO they should fix windows rather than that we should break something
else to accommodate it.
I very much agree with what Tim Mooney wrote.
