No other modules using lex & yacc use this prefix. I suppose we don't know why
it was done in the first place. The stripped library has the same size, so it's
a good start.
I would imagine to reduce the chances of conflict if the library is linked with
an application that also uses a bison/yacc generated parser. Today we might
use _X_HIDDEN, but not all compilers support that today, and this code may
predate any compiler/linker supporting hiding symbols like that.
