+This patch fixes a regex parsing compatibility issue with Perl 5.26.0.
+It manifests during the configure phase of at-spi2-core like this:
+
+------
+Unescaped left brace in regex is illegal here in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^(.*)\${ <-- HERE ?([A-Z_]+)}?(.*)$/ at /gnu/store/...-intltool-0.51.0/bin/intltool-update line 1065.
