Cool, thanks for clarifying.  I've pushed this, and also applied it
to the CHICKEN 5 branch.  This caused a conflict, because this branch
doesn't have the CHICKEN_COMPILER_OPTIONS anymore; it uses
CHICKEN_PROGRAM_OPTIONS throughout, for simplicity.  I've simply
removed -local from the CHICKEN_PROGRAM_OPTIONS, as I don't think
this will make much of a difference anyway; any performance bottlenecks
will not be in the programs themselves but in libchicken.

I've also added a small commit to silence a "always true" warning for
irregex, which was indeed correct.  However, because we try to deviate
from upstream as little as possible, it's better to silence the warning
than to remove the IF-conditions.

Cheers,
Peter
