regex/regcmp are found in libPW.a (/lib/libPW.a) and not in libc.a (or
libc_s, for that matter.)  Tack "-lPW" after your other files in the
link stage, and you'll get them.

This is true for ISC 2.0.2 and ISC 2.2, and I suspect most other versions.
(I don't know about other flavors/versions of SysV, but that's where it
was in SysIII too.)

Many people will post "RTFM" responses, but actually, the ISC man pages
for regex and regcmp don't mention libPW at all.  (My sys-3 man pages
do list libPW.a in the FILES section.)
