Flex 2.5.4 GLR scanner does not compile under RHE 4

[kensey Donk]

Hi,

I tried to use flex 2.5.4 with the GLR option, but the compile gives the 
following errors:

smartsExpr_tab.cpp: In function `void yyinitStateSet(yyGLRStateSet*)':
smartsExpr_tab.cpp:1573: error: invalid conversion from `void*' to `yyGLRState**
'
smartsExpr_tab.cpp: In function `void yyinitGLRStack(yyGLRStack*, size_t)':
smartsExpr_tab.cpp:1592: error: invalid conversion from `void*' to `yyGLRStackIt
em*'
smartsExpr_tab.cpp: In function `int yysplitStack(yyGLRStack*, int)':
smartsExpr_tab.cpp:1936: error: invalid conversion from `void*' to `yyGLRState**
'
smartsExpr_lex.cpp: At global scope:
smartsExpr_lex.cpp:1631: warning: 'void yyunput(int, char*)' defined but not use
d

If I compare the output with the one of a SUSE flex 2.5.4. I noticed that the 
casts
are left out. For example what in SUSE is 
  yyset->yystates = (yyGLRState**) YYMALLOC (16 * sizeof yyset->yystates[0]);
under RH is
 yyset->yystates = YYMALLOC (16 * sizeof yyset->yystates[0]);

As both flex claim to be the same versions this is confusing me. Is this a 
known issue?

Unfortunately I can't just add the cast into the tab file because it is 
automatically generated in our builds. Is there another known workaround?

Thanks
Timm
