While the hpux11 native compiler can build libiberty/regex.c in 32-bit
mode (don't know about 64-bit), pcc based systems definitely choke
compiling it (eg., vax-ultrix). Thus, let me be the first to complain ;-)
Since libiberty is used for more than gcc, I think this needs to be fixed.
A whole bunch of ISO stuff has snuck into 3.2. Fortunately, 3.1.1
still will build all languages but java) starting with the
native C compiler. The java build fails because it needs libiconv.
There is ISO stuff in iconv.h and the configure test fails.
Possibly if the configure test defined "const" to be "", this could
be fixed.
