fnmatch/regex in uClibc

[Peter S. Mazinger]

Hello!

fnmatch in uClibc fails GNU tests done by configure scripts, so each 
binary will have a static version of it included. I have added the fnmatch 
from glibc to uclibc, that makes it from 2360 (current version) to 
5160/10048 (bigger if mbstate_t and mbsrtowcs are enabled), collation 
disabled. Building coreutils against modify uClibc w/ glibc fnmatch 
becomes 33000 smaller, so it would be an overall benefit to have it if 
more gnu utils are built.

Should I add it (as regex) with option to use old version?

Apropos regex: the old regex is only 2x000 because it does not enable 
multibyte support, if I enable it in old code, it becomes bigger then the 
new regex.

Peter
