I am looking for versions of bison (or yacc) and flex (or lex) that produce
thread-safe C code.

Alternatively, I'd like pointers on methods to modify the C code produced by
these programs to make the C code thread-safe.  I think the problem is that
some basic data structures (e.g., yytext) in the C code are global
variables.

Thank you.
