Not affecting GCC's lex files simply means users of those flex versions 
can build GCC with them.  Affecting non-GCC lex files means requiring a 
newer version for GCC would potentially require some users to maintain 
multiple versions of flex for different purposes, which is rather 
different from a normal increase in minimum required version (although 
there are various cases where *exact* versions need to be required for GCC 
and multiple versions are unavoidable).
