[arch-dev-public] signoff: flex 2.5.35-1 for i686
Some may recall verison 2.5.34 was broken in a way that broke some builds. Jan, do you recall exactly what wouldn't build? If so, I can try to build it with the new version.
Request signoff from one other for i686. Full log since 2.5.33 is below.

***
* version 2.5.35 released 2008-02-26
** fixed bug that prevented flex from accepting certain comments in the scanner file (resolves bugs #1849809 and #1849805)
** fix bug that prevented headers for all functions from being generated (resolves bug #1628314)
** change yy_size_t to be size_t (resolves bug #1849812)
** new de, nl, pl, pt_br, vi translations from the translation project
* version 2.5.34 released 2007-12-12
** introduce yylex_init_extra; see the manual for details
** introduce %option extra-type="your_type *" (resolves bug #1744505)
** The flex program now parses multiple short concatenated options (resolves bug #1619820). Thanks to Petr Machata of Red Hat on this issue.
** better checking after yyalloc/yyrealloc (resolves bug #1595967)
** flex now provides for a libfl_pic.a compiled with position independent code. Particularly useful when including a flex scanner in a shared library and with more recent versions of gcc. Thanks to the Debia n project for the idea.
** SourceForge feature request #1658379: Expose YY_BUF_SIZE in the header file.
** flex better escapes filenames with special characters in them (resolves bug #1623600)
** a memory leak was plugged(resolves bug #1601111)
** pattern language expanded; see the manual for details on the below highlights
*** pattern options added to specify patterns as case-insensitive or case-sensitive
*** pattern options to specify whether the "." character should match the newline character
*** pattern options added to allow ignoring of whitespace in patterns
*** POSIX character classes may be negated in patterns
*** patterns may now use set difference, union operators
** the manual now contains an appendix listing various common patterns which may be useful when writing scanners
** some memory leaks were removed from the C++ scanner (but the C++ scanner is still experimental and may change radically without notice)
** c++ scanners can now use yywrap
** added new unit test for c++ and yywrap
** portability fixes to some unit tests
** flex man page and flex manual in pdf now distributed in the flex distribution
** new ca, vi, ga, nl translations from the translation project
** flex no longer comes with an rpm spec file
** flex development now happens with automake 1.9.6

The latest gcc-4.4 snapshot still builds so I will signoff i686.
