This appears to be caused by a recent update to contrib/flex from 2.5.37 (7 years old) to 2.6.4, in r362333, where upstream changed yyin and yyout from pointers to references: https://github.com/westes/flex/commit/336a1deaa57975f34cd732d656d1c0cbe3d5233a Unfortunately this can break existing .ll files. They will have to be patched, but this is made more difficult by having the new version of flex in 13-CURRENT. -Dimitry
