[Autogen-users] libopts + libregex

[Nikos M. <nm...@gn...>]

Hello,
 I upgraded from libopts 5.16 to 5.17 and I have an issue when compiling
for a uclibc system. I get:

checking whether a reg expr header is specified... no
checking whether libregex functions properly... no
configure: error: the regex library does not work

irrespective of whether I specify the --without-libregex (ideally it
would be nice if I needn't need to specify that).

I used the attached patch to avoid the issue, but I'm not sure whether
that's the intention of the original code.

regards,
Nikos
