As I already say in previous letter, you can got conflict only
in one _very-very_rare_ case:
1) You use regex module.
2) You use regerror() before any regex functions.
All other cases handled correctly.
Because this case is almost impossible, we don't need to make libcompat
static-only, so I stronly recommend to back out your change.
