This most probably caused by mising up headers and implementation
of GNU regex and rx. Either you use regex or rx, but not a mixture.
I don't have the installation procedure in mind but I think the
configure script recognizes the rx implementation in the libc
but it does not move the regex.h header of GNU regex in the lib/
subdir out of the way.
I quick fix is to overwrite the file lib/regex.h with a file containing
#include "/usr/include/regex.h"
