A little while ago, I saw a compiler warning creep in:

In file included from gram.y:11202:
scan.c: In function ‘yy_try_NUL_trans’:
scan.c:15765: warning: unused variable ‘yyg’

I know there were some changes to minimum versions, but I think I have
those versions (listed below). I don't know if others are seeing this
warning or not.

Regards,
Jeff Davis

Yeah, this is a bogosity in the current release of "flex".
