[Bug 1940996] Re: test failure - test-regex

[Dan Bungert]

Naively dropping this commit into the glibc package yields a dozen test
failures.

Title:
  test failure - test-regex

Status in grep:
  In Progress
Status in grep package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  'test-regex' fails when building grep against glibc 2.34.
  Per commentary from grep upstream at https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=50069, 
  the test failure can be attributed to skew between the glibc built-in regex and the one that is found in the grep source code.
