I'll pre-approve removing those bits. Alternately, you could look to resync

The current glibc implementation is completely different; the libiberty
version was replaced in glibc many years ago. Obsolete libiberty by
gnulib for all its users and you get a portable version of the current
glibc regex that way....
BTW, this is what Ayush is trying to do:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2016-07/msg01302.html
https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/replacelibibertywithgnulib
It would be great if someone could review his patches. I cannot approve them
myself.
You could even ask him to look next at replacing the libiberty version of
regex.c with gnulib's in GCC. It is on his TODO list.
