So, firstly, I don't know whether something's not set up right on my host, but just patching loadkeys.analyze.l breaks
the build, as it can't generate the loadkeys.analyze.c file:

[user@host kbd-1.15.5]$ make V=1
make  all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/user/sources/kbd-1.15.5'
Making all in src
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/user/sources/kbd-1.15.5/src'
/bin/sh ../config/ylwrap loadkeys.analyze.l .c loadkeys.analyze.c -- : --header-file=/home/user/sources/kbd-1.15.5/src/loadkeys.analyze.h
make[2]: *** [loadkeys.analyze.c] Error 1

Debugging, it's bailing out in the 'else' clause at line 191 of config/ylwrap, which looks a
lot like it doesn't like the odd looking '.c' filename in the above command.

So, then I edited the loadkeys.analyze.c file by hand, as it looked as if that's all the
regeneration would do.  That enabled the build to proceed to completion, but I still get
the same error as before.

Thanks,

Matt.
