Subject: [PATCH/RFC 2/3] compat/regex: hacks to get the gawk regex engine to compile within git

From: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 17 Aug 2010 03:25:47 +0000

The gawk regex engine didn't include stdio.h, and only include
stddef.h if HAVE_STDDEF_H is set.

Adding -DHAVE_STDDEF_H caused some internal errors in by /usr/include
headers, so change the regex.h code to include it unconditionally.

We also need to define -DGAWK so that e.g. "bool", "MAX" and other
similar things used inside gawk get defined.
