Comment (by apl-haiku):

 The later "glibc" variant you mentioned above appears to be LGPL licensed;

 http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=blob;f=lib/regex.c

 "haiku/src/build/libgnuregex" builds to a shared library
 "libgnuregex_build.so" using "BuildPlatformSharedLibrary".  As far as my
 understanding goes, the LGPL allows linking to a shared library without
 putting licensing requirements on the executable.  So this would imply
 that upgrading to the LGPL variant would be cleaner better path to take
 here.

 Does that seem to make sense to you?
