Possibly yes, but since using bison or flex versions as old as yours
were in the testsuite is something very uncommon, I wouldn't worry too
deeply about it.  Maybe I can give a shot at making those tests more
portable to older versions if the issue comes up again in the future,
but I wouldn't worry about it now.
