	I was trying out textutils-1.3.6 from alpha.gnu.mit.edu and I had
trouble compiling it on a sun4 and a TekXD88/10 using the bundled C compilers.

	The problem is a bad cpp directive on line 399 of regex.h.  It is
fixed by the following one line change:


*** regex.h.BAK Fri Nov 20 20:51:33 1992
--- regex.h     Mon Jan 11 14:55:03 1993
***************
*** 396,402 ****
  #define _RE_ARGS(args) args
  #else /* not __STDC__ */
  #define _RE_ARGS(args) ()
! #if !const && !HAVE_CONST
  #define const
  #endif
  #endif /* not __STDC__ */
--- 396,402 ----
  #define _RE_ARGS(args) args
  #else /* not __STDC__ */
  #define _RE_ARGS(args) ()
! #if !defined(const) && !defined(HAVE_CONST)
  #define const
  #endif
  #endif /* not __STDC__ */

	This problem does not show up if you use gcc which is probably why
it slipped by you.
