The .symver directive on common symbol just creates a new common symbol,
not an alias and the newer assembler with the bug fix for
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21661
will issue an error. Before the fix, we got
$ readelf -sW libc.so | grep "loc[12s]"
5109: 00000000003a0608 8 OBJECT LOCAL DEFAULT 36 loc1
5188: 00000000003a0610 8 OBJECT LOCAL DEFAULT 36 loc2

in libc.so. The versioned loc1, loc2 and locs have the wrong addresses.
After the fix, we got

[BZ #21666]
* misc/regexp.c (loc1): Add __attribute__ ((nocommon));
(loc2): Likewise.
(locs): Likewise.
<regexp.h> (not to be confused with <regex.h>) is an obsolete and
frankly horrible regular expression-matching API. It was part of SVID
but was withdrawn in Issue 5 (for reference, we're on Issue 7 now).
It doesn't do anything you can't do with <regex.h>, and using it
involves defining a bunch of macros before including the header.
Moreover, the code in regexp.h that uses those macros has been buggy
since its creation (in 1996) and no one has noticed, which indicates
to me that there are no users. (Specifically, RETURN() is used in a
whole bunch of cases where it should have been ERROR().)
The header is given a warning and marked deprecated for 2.22.

* sysdeps/alpha/memcpy.S: Temporarily remove until I can find a bug
