this version is relatively old.  It's much better to get a version from
newer glibc.

To get the current one from CVS:
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:address@hidden:/cvs/glibc co libc/posix

then copy all libc/posix/reg* files to your source directory,
apply the patch  glibc_regex_h.patch  (attached to this mail),
compile as follows:

gcc -Wall -c regex.c

and use the resulting regex.o .

I've tried

gcc -Wall -c TestReg.c
gcc -o TestReg regex.o TestReg.o

and the resulting binary works without any problem.
