Wait, what havoc does the C lexer hack cause? I've never found it a big deal in a proper compiler, and in tools I've always been able to get away with pseudo-parsing C without tracking typenames. (I'm sure it's different in C++, and I'm also 100% behind 'x:int' regardless.)

This is an abomination and prevents building GCC as PIE or running GCC on nommu hosts. I encountered that and was so angry. Is it fixed yet?

So much 80s era lisp machine philosophy cruft in the gnu ecosystem.

Yeah. In other languages, it is possible to infer that two adjacent identifiers starts a declaration, but in C at best all this can do is make a guess... (can be correct "most of the time", still needs typedef's to make a determination; mostly useful as a parser optimization).
