Any interest in porting GNU Bison (YACC) and GNU FLEX to OpenVMS?

I'm just wondering if anyone would find having those two programs useful? I don't particularly find Bison useful except for making a compiler. I have however used Flex a lot to make file readers.

I need to port GNU M4 first to get it to compile.

I'm a dyslectic with thick fingers.... but link is now correct

Added in 1 hour 15 minutes 57 seconds:
For what it is worth : I found on my systems version 1.2 of m4 (I compiled it in 2003). I have no idea from where I got it.
