Links to source tgzs are below.
On supported systems, extract and make install.
The default installation target is /usr/local. To install elsewhere,
make PREFIX=/usr/elsewhere install.
On unsupported systems, you will need to create

See the existing ones for examples. If you write one for a new system,
please send it to us for inclusion in the tar files.

libutf
libfmt

Libfmt is a port of Plan 9's formatted print library.
As a base it provides all the syntax of ANSI C's printf but adds
the ability for client programs to install new print verbs.
One such print verb (installed by default) is %r, which prints
the system error string.
Instead of perror("foo"), you can write
fprint(2, "foo: %r\n");.
This is especially nice when you write verbs to format the
data structures used by your particular programs.
Needs libutf.

Libregexp9 is a port of Plan 9's Unicode-capable regular expression library.
It is small and simple and provides the traditional extended regular
expressions (without modern complications like
{} and various \x character classes).
It supports Unicode via wide character or UTF-8 encoding.
Needs libutf and libfmt.
