Umm, why are you applying this patch? Just because it appears on the ftp
site? AFAICT it does nothing for us. It applies only to those platforms
who don't define REG_STARTEND in their system headers eg: Solaris. You can
easily confirm it does nothing on Linux/Glibc by compiling with and
without the patch then diffing the binaries. They are identical (except
for usual date stamps in the *.a archive).
