You can just do a diff between glibc and regex to find the list of
patches.  They aren't marshaled into a coherent set of small patches,
which is the bottleneck.  However, you _can_ just use the gnulib
version, which is a popular option.

Well, I'm bewildered by libc versus -lgnuregex, so I guess we're even.
