This is regex.c, which is enabled only when "your system's regexp

BTW, the INSTALL file contains:

--with-bundled-regex
       use bundled GNU regex instead of local regexp routines.  Many systems
       don't have the POSIX compliant regcomp/regexec/regfree
       routines, so this provides a way to support them.

This was already there in the initial revision in 1998 (and has only
been slightly modified):

--with-rx
       use GNU rx instead of local regexp routines.  Many systems don't
       have the POSIX compliant regcomp/regexec/regfree routines, so this
       provides a way to support them.

This is probably obsolete and misleading.

I'll fix this to say "Very old systems don't have..." in 2.5.0. Thanks, Vincent.
