Fix regcomp.c build for 32-bit with GCC mainline
Commit Message
posix/regcomp.c fails to build for 32-bit configurations with GCC
mainline:
In file included from regex.c:66:
regcomp.c: In function 'init_word_char':
regcomp.c:934:24: error: conversion from 'long long unsigned int' to 'bitset_word_t {aka long unsigned int}' changes value from '287948901175001088' to '0' [-Werror=overflow]
dfa->word_char[0] = wc0;
^~~
regcomp.c:935:24: error: conversion from 'long long unsigned int' to 'bitset_word_t {aka long unsigned int}' changes value from '576460745995190270' to '2281701374' [-Werror=overflow]
dfa->word_char[1] = wc1;
^~~
The code has a workaround using const temporary variables instead of
having constants directly on the RHS of the assignments; this
workaround no longer suffices to avoid the warning. This patch
replaces the workaround by a different one, using conditional
expressions that evaluate to 0, in the case where this code is inside
an "if" whose condition evaluates to 0.
Tested compilation for arm with GCC mainline with build-many-glibcs.py
(where it allows the compilation to get further, next running into
-Werror=format-overflow= failures in res_debug.c, for which I've filed
bug 22463 as there seems to be a potentially user-visible bug there);
also tested for 32-bit x86 with an older compiler to make sure no
execution failures result from this patch.

* posix/regcomp.c (init_word_char): Use conditional expressions
not intermediate const variables to avoid -Werror=overflow errors
for 32-bit systems in 64-bit case.

Why not use the already upstream fix from gnulib
(252b52457da7887667c036d18cc5169777615bb0) ?

That change would not apply cleanly to current sources, and if we have
over five years of regex changes out of sync with gnulib, it doesn't seem
a good idea to try to tie any possible resync with gnulib (in both
directions) to fixing build failures to make it possible to detect build
regressions when they occur (rather than piling one failure on top of
another that isn't yet fixed, so making it hard to determine the
problematic patch, which is the current state).
