Ok, I think the problem here is either the gnulib/lib/Makefile* or an interaction between them and configure: after starting again from a freshly unpacked tarball and issuing: ./configure 2>&1 | tee configure.log make 2>&1 | tee make.log I can see:
[...]
I assume the intention is that if the re_compile_pattern probe fails, the regex support in gnulib/lib should be compiled and linked in instead of allowing it to be provided by the installed libraries. The fact that doesn't happen would appear to be the proximate cause of the test failure. I don't know much about debugging at this level, but I can't see any way that the effect of setting "ac_use_included_regex" in configure actually gets propagated anywhere, and 'grep -i regex config.status' matches nothing. Suggestions for a next step would be appreciated.
I recently made a related fix in the CVS repository. See http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17861. What happens if you try building from CVS?
