On closer investigation, flex does contain prototypes for these
functions, but it neglects to emit them!  AFAICS this is simply a flex
bug, and one already reported.  I added a comment here:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1628314&group_id=97492&atid=618177

My advice is now that we do nothing, just wait for the flex folk to fix it.
