There are two sides, of course: if making it easier for a distribution

sweat can cause huge problems.
Back on topic: do you actually have trouble with invoking flex/yacc* to
generate code or do you have a problem with the generated (C99) code (what
seems to be a pretty new problem - and is on Linux/any distro because KF5
does --std=c90)?
Or was this just a general "Hey, there's a world beyond Linux" remark?
It was a more general remark to Kevin: he might have it easy because he can
add just a line to a spec file and be happy, but in the big, bad world, every
dependency is a burden.
You also may have some (personal, at least) data on relevant MSVC 2013 is in
practice?
Because every gcc in the wild as well as clang should be able to handle C99 -
and so should MSVC 2015 and the intel compiler(s of the past). Afaics, MSVC
2013 is the deal breaker here; but no warranty on that statement...
I'm right now using msvc 2015 myself -- which gives other problems with other
dependencies.
