I think this a problem with GCC 3.3.x relating to the following 'define'.

$grep -n YY_PROTO *.l
scan.l:59:#define YY_DECL int yylex2 YY_PROTO((void))
scan.l:741:int yylex YY_PROTO((void))

I seams to work fine with versions prior to GCC 3.3 .

No idea why this is a problem, nor how to fix it.

Maybe some thing to do with the C99 standard again.
