Nit: When reading the declaration of 'opt_s', I found the name
inscrutable; it was only upon reading the actual code, that I
understood that it reflected whether --silent had been used. How about
giving it a more easily-understood name, such as 'silent'?

Nit: Is there precedent for formatting the code like this? At first
glance, I read these as three distinct statements rather than one
large composite statement. I wonder if indenting the continuation
lines would make this more easily-digested.

Why do you introduce a new variable 'ireq' here considering that...

...it is always used alongside 'prereq'? It seems that you could just
assign "!REGEX_ILLSEQ" to 'prereq' without need for 'ireq'. (And
'ireq' is a rather inscrutable name -- I have trouble figuring out
what it means.)

The commit message explains why you remove the 'REGEX_ILLSEQ', but why
are all the other lines removed, as well? Such removal seems unrelated
to the stated purpose of this patch.
