Maybe the cleanest would be to add a wrapper around regex_t,
and replace compile_rx_or_error with a ctor that throws,
like:

class gdb_regex
{
public:
  // replaces old compile_rx_or_error
  gdb_regex (const char *rx, const char *message)
  {
    gdb_assert (rx != NULL);

    int code = regcomp (&m_pattern, rx, REG_NOSUB);
    if (code != 0)
      {
        gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr<char> err
          = get_regcomp_error (code, &m_pattern);

        error (("%s: %s"), message, err.get ());
      }
  }
  ~gdb_regex ()
  {
    regfree (&m_pattern);
  }

  // add convenience methods as needed.

private:
  regex_t m_pattern;
};

and use it throughout.
