Dunno. Depending on such a thing would require depending on a new flex
version, and seeing that the flex guys haven't put out a new release
since the badly broken 2.5.31 more than 2 years ago, I wouldn't hold
my breath waiting for one we can use.

It should be easy enough to check for the presence of the flag at
configure-time and only use it if flex implements it. Prior to reading
Simon's message I was actually thinking of hacking up the same thing ,
so I agree it is probably worth doing.

Neil,

I'll be doing this after the beta freeze is announced. If you wanted to
do this before then, I wouldn't stop you.
