whaddya know, a build with no flex noise at all

I am pleased to report that the recently released flex 2.5.35 generates
code for our .l files that produces no gcc warnings whatsoever.
This is a first :-(, at least for versions of flex without any
downstream patches.

Oh excellent!  Now we can build with -Werror without problems (on some 
platforms at least, I guess).  This should make development and verification 
of patches a bit more robust.  Just don't pass -Werror to configure or you 
will experience very strange behavior. :)
