+ NetBSD's regexp implementation is now part of libnbcompat.
+ Nblex, nbm4, nbpax, nbsed use it and they may crash on
+ non-NetBSD hosts if linked with stale object files produced
+ while they included a non-NetBSD regex.h.
+ In any case, you should "make cleandir" at least these tools
+ before updating your toolchain.
