Subject: * regex.m4 (gl_REGEX): Don't insist on REG_SYNTAX_POSIX_EGREP,
X-Git-Tag: cvs-readonly~2467
X-Git-Url: http://erislabs.org.uk/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d41ac94ee9c6646da062a193b37c32a82ba63ac2;p=gnulib.git

* regex.m4 (gl_REGEX): Don't insist on REG_SYNTAX_POSIX_EGREP,
REG_SYNTAX_EMACS, and REG_IGNORE_CASE.  Settle for the traditional
glibc names.  Even if glibc is changed to conform to POSIX, the
traditional names will be available anyway, since regex depends on
the extensions module.  Problem reported by Emanuele Giaquinta.
