Right.

I believe that <sys/cdefs.h> on FreeBSD defines __unused to 
__attribute__(unused), or something similar.  This was probably 
generated by a patched flex for FreeBSD.  freebsd-lex might generate the 
same output, I don't know.

Debian GNU/kFreeBSD uses __FreeBSD_kernel__, not __FreeBSD__, so it 
shouldn't affect anything as far as Debian goes.  I don't know what 
Debian GNU/kFreeBSD includes in <sys/cdefs.h>; perhaps one of the 
porters could tell you.

If you apply the attached patch, and regenerate the C file using flex, 
the program should compile properly.  At least on my amd64 system, the 
executable is built.

HTH.
