+       regex: suppress core dumps from detection code
+       * m4/regex.m4 (gl_REGEX): Catch the SIGABRT and convert to SIGTERM
+       to suppress core dumps that may well occur on glibc systems.
+       These core dumps might not be cleaned up automatically, or could
+       trigger some system core dump handling logic.
