Sorry - 
I think I was getting fooled here by repeated sections of stuff,
checking for regcomp occurs three times and there is this:

configure:31783: checking for main in -lregex
configure:31812: i686-pc-mingw32-gcc -o conftest.exe
-Wno-unused-but-set-variable
-I/home/rshann/mxe/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/include  conftest.c -lregex
-lgmp -lws2_32 -lm -lltdl -lunistring -lintl -liconv >&5
/home/rshann/mxe/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-mingw32/4.7.0/../../../../i686-pc-mingw32/bin/ld:
 cannot find -lregex

probably in all cases.
