This is a very basic regexp library that as far as I can tell has no active upstream and hasn't been updated in about a decade. It seems like at some point in the distant past (> 18 years ago) it was extracted from glibc and made to work under mingw, but hasn't been kept up to date with the glibc code. [Please tell me if I'm wrong about this, but I was unable to find much about its history.]
It failed in the mass rebuild, but I managed to "rescue" it for now by compiling the package with -std=c99. It also gives lots of non-fatal warnings about modern C stuff. It seems it is not used by any other package in Fedora, assuming my repoquery-fu is right: # dnf repoquery --enablerepo=\* --arch=src --whatrequires mingw-libgnurx (nothing) Probably you should be using PCRE (mingw64-pcre2) instead of this. Anyway I didn't actually orphan it but will do if it causes any more trouble.
