    Problem Text
    This test may fail on implementations where the object format
    does not provide the symbolic information in the format expected.

    The part of the test that's failing is where it checks that the symbol
    "yylex" is reported by the "nm" utility. According to the Output Files
    section of the c89 command in XPG4 Commands and Utilities:

    "Object files or executable files or both are produced in
    unspecified formats."

    Symbols such as the names of functions in binary executable files
    produced by c89 on our platform may not necessarily retain their
    initial names:

    - lower case letters are folded to uppercase

    - special symbols such as the underscore are replaced by other
    acceptable characters

    - symbols with names longer than 8 characters are truncated to
    their first 8 characters

    - name collisions are resolved by assigning an arbitrary unique
    name to a symbol (such as @SYM0001).

    It is not portable to expect that the function name "yylex" will show
    up in output from the nm utility. On some platforms, it may be
    changed in some manner.
    Test Output
    TP Start
    Assertion #89 (D): Test the yylex() definition in generated code
    Command failed: '[ 0 -gt 0 ]'
