Maybe, but it's not what we want. The code (prior to your 'flex -l' checkin) was syntactically correct--yylineno was properly defined. But flex didn't make any use of it, ie. didn't update it as intended. I don't know whether the code in question is very critical to performance. If it isn't, the 'flex -l' fix is perfectly fine.
