[PATCH] regex: fix for kernel cross-compile

The attached patch fixes the issue I reported previously:

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-06/msg00161.html

According to POSIX[1], a '|' following '(' produces undefined results. 
However, glibc and PCRE both allow the regex in question, so there is 
basis for omitting this error.  I believe this is the last issue which 
needs to be fixed within Cygwin to allow cross-compiling the Linux kernel.
