Hi,

When compiling binutils for the x86_64-pc-mingw32 target, I am now seeing a huge pile of warnings

> that were never there before. I am

using bison 2.3-3.fc7 and flex 2.5.33-9.fc7.  Does anyone have any
insight into this?

The warnings are side effect of the sloppy code which is generated by flex and bison. They should no cause you any concern however. They are expected. There is even code in the makefiles to turn off -Werror when compiling these generated files as the build system knows that they might be produced.

Cheers
  Nick
