yes, that would be nice.  Or if you have a tarball we could
have a look at.

Yes, but is this really what you want?  You are giving
credential blindly to any scanner.  Shouldn't you just
pinpoint to the one you actually use?

friend int yylex(ZZSTYPE*, ZZLTYPE*, yyscan_t)

(I don't know for the last one, it is not under the control
of Bison).

So far, so good.  You are mixing together different entities
with the same name, that's risky business.  So far, I consider
the api.prefix approach better.

This, I don't understand.  It has nothing to do with Bison.

Are you sure your problem is with Bison and not flex?
