Ralph,

Are you sure this is a flex-generated file?
I am looking at opal/util/show_help_lex.l in the svn trunk and it certainly looks human-generated to me.
Please clue me in if I am missing something.

The warning is from flex when processing the .l file, NOT from the compilation of the flex-generated .c file.

We get that everywhere, unfortunately - it comes from flex and is outside our 
control as the file it complains about is actually generated by flex itself. 
Unfortunately, flex is no longer maintained, and so nothing has been done to 
correct it.

I've not checked any other systems, but building the trunk on OpenBSD and 
FreeBSD (w/ flex-2.5.4) I see the following:
  LEX    show_help_lex.c
"[srcdir]/opal/util/show_help_lex.l", line 65: warning, dangerous trailing 
context
I found this message in the flex documentation, and it mentions that the POSIX 
draft for LEX leaves such cases undefined.
