Escape sequence/parse errors

[Michael Vance]

I'm trying to compile a .cc file generated by yacc on a Win32 box. Gcc
barfs because of :

#line 2 "console\yyparse.c"

int main( int argc, char* argv[] )
{
	return 0;
}

[michael@namaste cpp]$ /usr/local/gcc-20000807/bin/g++ escape.cc 
escape.cc:1: unknown escape sequence `\y'

Anyway to turn this sort of error off? egcs 1.1.2 compiles without
error.
