Description:
I  built from source, using only "BUILD/compile-pentium-debug".
Partitions are a "max" feature, so there's no partition support.
But I can create a partition table, and there's no warning.
Then I can do things that are impossible with partitions,
and there's no warning.
I can even drop a nonexistent partition, and there's no warning.

How to repeat:

Someone had removed an #ifdef from lex.h to ensure no statement involving
PARTITION* is allowed when partitioning support isn't compiled in.
Added it back
