+ Log: Oh, bother. In Tru64 cc -std1 was looking rather nice
+ in speed (upto 20% speedup in certain operations) but meanwhile
+ regexps and arithmetics got slower (5-10%) (according to
+ perlbench average speedup is negligible, and within measuring
+ flutter, 1%). Therefore retracting all the changes
+ aimed at getting -std1 to compile cleanly: #12475, #12476,
+ #12479, #12480, #12481, #12482, #12483, #12484.
