Thanks for the confirm.

If you're going to submit a patch, see this discussion:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2001-11/subjects.html#01002
Given Ulrich's reaction to incorporating K&R compat back into glibc,
we'll have to maintain our own copy. I think we should keep any
changes to a minimum so we don't diverge from the "master" regex.c
copy too much. Please keep that in mind when you figure out what to
do.

Er, "whole bunch"? I found one nit in gengtype.c which I fixed.
What else is causing trouble? (And for where, hpux or vax-ultrix?)
