GNU regexp 0.11 contains:

	#if __STDC__
	#define _RE_ARGS(args) args
	#else /* not __STDC__ */
	#define _RE_ARGS(args) ()
->	#if !const && !HAVE_CONST
	#define const
	#endif
	#endif /* not __STDC__ */

Presuming Autoconf's AC_CONST defined `const' to be empty, and without
 __STDC__, the preprocessor sees a syntax error at the arrow.  Maybe
regexp.h should simply leave const alone, and let Autoconf handle it.
