+ * regex.m4 (gl_REGEX): Don't check for off_t, since the code
+ no longer needs it. Instead, check that regoff_t is as least
+ as wide as ptrdiff_t.
+
+ Don't define _REGEX_WIDE_OFFSETS unless using the included regex,
+ so that our regex.h stays compatible with the installed regex.
+ This is helpful for installers who configure --without-included-regex.
+ Problem reported by Emanuele Giaquinta.

* chdir-safer.m4 (gl_CHDIR_SAFER): Add same-inode.h to the list.
