Good question, but I doubt it --- those messages all use double quotes
around the yytext string, and I believe that eg. "foo" and " foo" are
different even under --ignore-whitespace.

I just finished wiping all that stuff from my work directory, or I'd
be able to give you a non-guesswork answer :-( ... but it's not
worth regenerating the build for.
