In gnulib, the module 'regex' depends on the module 'builtin-expect' (with the appropriate condition), and this latter module guarantees that __builtin_expect is defined also on non-GCC compilers.
All true. However, __builtin_expect is being phased out in glibc and I'd like to take this opportunity to phase it out in the regex code too. I'll look into doing that.
