Yes, someone in Germany did this and reports no problems.  I don't have
access to a 7.1 system, so I haven't tried this myself.

Look for a file called lex.yy_cc or something like that.  The MMS
initialization procedure should have renamed it.  If not, you can rename
it yourself.  The problem is that VMS can't handle file names with more
than one dot ('.').  Different utilities use various schemes to get
around this.  There are 2 or 3 others like that.   I think VMS 7.2 is
supposed to fix this.

You should change the Posix thread draft version macro
(PthreadDraftVersion?) to 10 from 4.  Also, you need to change the
DECthreads library (currently set to sys$library:cma$open_rtl).  I'll
e-mail you the name of the library from work (I'm writing this at home)
or you can look it up in the DECthreads documentation.

HTH,
