Sure, but my point is just that different versions of flex, in general,
will provoke different compiler warnings. I don't see that it is a net
win to disable a flag across the _whole_ source tree just because it
complains about the code generated by a particular version of flex. Why
not just disable warnings for just the flex-generated files?

Do you think these problems are sufficiently bad that we need to declare
2.5.31 unsupported?
