Yes, the gnulib replacement <stdlib.h> should provide a declaration for
rpmatch().  If it is not, then perhaps we have a case where your system
headers have a circular inclusion pattern that we do not yet have a
split-inclusion-guard setup to handle, such that you are not getting the
complete system <stdlib.h> followed by the complete gnulib <stdlib.h>
replacements in the correct order.  Something's not working right if
yesno.c doesn't see rpmatch declared, but I'm not sure what additional
details to ask for about your system headers, nor exactly the best way
to fix the real problem here.

Yes, that fix is necessary, and I will go ahead and push it.

Subject: [PATCH] regex: avoid compiler warning

Although glibc leaks strcasecmp through <string.h>, this behavior
is not required by POSIX, and HP NonStop needs <strings.h>

* lib/regex.c (includes): Include <strings.h>, for use of
strcasecmp in regcomp.c.
