Description
I'm currently updating texinfo-7 to version 7.1. It would need a revbump anyway for the new perl version.
During configure, the conftest program crashes during checking for working re_compile_pattern... (with the outcome no).
This is hrev57804, x86_64.

re_compile_pattern is not POSIX, I think currently you need to define _DEFAULT_SOURCE to get it.

The problem isn't that it doesn't find the function. The way it is called causes an assert in libroot.

Oh, right.
We may need to update at least some of the glibc-imported stuff: their commit removing that assert.
Meanwhile, maybe ./configure --with-included-regex will work for texinfo?

Replying to madmax:
Meanwhile, maybe
./configure --with-included-regexwill work for texinfo?
I applied your suggestion and it works. It doesn't check the function any more and therefore also doesn't crash. Thanks!

I managed to upgrade our glibc regex code to 2.28 in hrev57862. Newer versions than that will require importing more headers from glibc, it appears, and I'm not sure if they'll still be C89-compatible...
