According to my tests this incorrect symbols resolution at runtime no
longer happens. Ubuntu is still carrying the patch but also probably
doesn't need to, they are also on a much older version. It sounds
like there was once a linkage bug somewhere which has likely been
resolved since.

Drop the patch as it doesn't seem needed anymore. If it were a real
issue it should be submitted upstream too, the status is incorrect.

-Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [debian patch]
-
-This patch address a namespace collision with libc.
-
-Although there is no "#include <regex.h>" in the source file, at
-runtime, it's unintentionally linked to the libc version, the regcomp of
-libc is called instead the pcre one using pcre's data structure...
-that looks like a disaster.
-
-Can patch is from Debian (and Ubuntu 11.04alpha has it also).
