+Subject: [PATCH] gnulib/regexec: Resolve unused variable
+
+This is a really minor issue where a variable is being assigned to but
+not checked before it is overwritten again.
+
+The reason for this issue is that we are not building with DEBUG set and
+this in turn means that the assert() that reads the value of the
+variable match_last is being processed out.
+
+The solution, move the assignment to match_last in to an ifdef DEBUG too.
