1.  Other distro's do not have it yet (or Redhat, Mandrake and Debian at least).

2.  Why we have not even had 1.75, is that it breaks compatibility with 1.35,
    which cause a few things to fail (xfree and kde<something> quickly of the
    top of my head).

Works for me (with flex 2.5.31 and snort 2.0.0)

Comment 6 Darke 2003-05-12 06:59:09 UTC

I just tripped over a bug relating to bison1.875 w/ gcc3.2.3 in a relatively trivial
compiler, used in conjunction with a program I help support. Seems that it's being
a little too eager to throw in __attribute__((__unused__)) sections where it
shouldn't.

Whilst the fix is relatively simple, and can be automated (aka, commenting out the
erronous line), I really don't think it's quite stable enough as it is, if it's
breaking on such simple code, IMO. -.^

FYI, code works fine with 1.35, 1.50 and 1.75.
