That is correct.

Is this a checkout from mercurial only or did you apply the patches I
sent on top of it ? (They are not committed yet) Also, you might need to
wait a couple of days until the patches I submitted for gnulib have been
committed - otherwise the path series I sent won't do you much good.

No idea what that is about. Might be worth trying to get at the bottom
of this.

Does it populate a gnulib/ dir ?

You don't need that patch anymore; part of the patch series pulls regex
from gnulib, which takes care of this problem and other interface
issues.

Both of these are taken from gnulib with the patches I sent - with the
small caveat that the gnulib implementation of argz was incomplete; I
submitted patches to add the missing functions from glibc. Once they are
in gnulib, you should be able to apply these patches and build without
seeing these problems.
