Binary package hint: gcal

gcal failed to build from source in intrepid, on most architectures:

rc-use.c:648: error: 'RE_SYNTAX_POSIX_EXTENDED' undeclared (first use in this function)
rc-use.c:648: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
rc-use.c:648: error: for each function it appears in.)
rc-use.c:648: error: 'RE_BACKSLASH_ESCAPE_IN_LISTS' undeclared (first use in this function)
rc-use.c:649: error: 'RE_DOT_NOT_NULL' undeclared (first use in this function)
rc-use.c:650: error: 'struct re_pattern_buffer' has no member named 'fastmap'
rc-use.c:651: error: 'struct re_pattern_buffer' has no member named 'translate'

These objects are defined in /usr/include/regex.h, but in glibc 2.8 only if __USE_GNU is defined.
__USE_GNU can be set from /usr/include/features.h by defining _GNU_SOURCE.

** Affects: gcal (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Confirmed
