I will not revert the patches to regex.c since they are optimizations
which buy quite a lot in the glibc context.  If there is a way to keep
it usable without obsfutating the sources that's fine.  Somebody
should come up with a patch.  I personally don't care a thing for K&R
compilers.  All you need is make, gcc, and perhaps binutils.  With
this you can get gcc running and you are set.  If somebody does not
want to do this because it's too much work they cannot expect the
maintainer to spend time on their problems.
