Re: compiling with tcc fails on regex.c since commit 56b32251

[Paul Eggert]

Thanks for reporting that. tcc is failing because it claims to support 
C99 (it defines __STDC_VERSION__ to 199901L), but it doesn't support 
variable length arrays as C99 requires. Perhaps you could file a bug 
report with the tcc folks? A simple fix would be for tcc to predefine 
__STDC_NO_VLA__ to 1.

Anyway, I installed the attached patches into Gnulib to attempt to work 
around the tcc bug. The first patch should fix regex.c; the second one 
should fix gettext.h to behave like regex.c does; the third tries to 
document this messy area better.
