oh jesus no.... please think about that you switch the gcc compiler
again and forget to update these generated flexer or yacc files then you
may get in big troubles. i recently had these issues with some old app i
wanted to compile. the maintainer included the final generated yacc and
lexer files without any possibility to recreate them from scratch with
new includes... result.. totally broken.. its necessary and good to have
them generated new everytime you compile...
