    Whereas the implementation of re_search_2 and re_match_2 in glibc and gnulib
    concatenates the two given strings in a single malloc'ed area, performs the
    search, and then frees the malloc'ed area.

That would be totally useless for Emacs.  Copying the whole Emacs
buffer in that way just once could cause a delay big enough for
the user to see.
