regex.h defines REG_ENOSYS only if _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined.  However,
since 2001 POSIX has also required REG_ENOSYS, even if _XOPEN_SOURCE
is not defined.

Also, there is a problem with ifdeffing REG_ENOSYS out: that can cause
the containing enum type to be unsigned rather than signed, which
means that different object modules (compiled with and without
_XOPEN_SOURCE, say) might not interoperate on some platforms.

I'll attach a patch.
