+       Avoid mempcpy in the regex code, as the string.h mempcpy stuff
+       is causing more trouble than it's curing.
+       * lib/regex_internal.h (__mempcpy): Remove.
+       * lib/regcomp.c (regerror): Rewrite to avoid the need for mempcpy
+       (and make the code a tad smaller to boot).
+       * m4/regex.m4 (gl_PREREQ_REGEX): Don't check for mempcpy.
