the use of defvar without giving the variable a value is a trick to
appease the elisp compiler when a variable is used without being
required.  I imagine that the `calc-command-flags' variable is defined
in some other calc file, which the calc authors assumed would already be
loaded by the time calc is required.

That may be the simplest work-around for now, unless you can find the
calc file that actually does define that variable.
