If you switch from glibc regex.h to PCRE, make sure to use PCRE2 which 
is actively maintained. I had to patch MapCache to start supporting that 
because the confusingly named pcre3 package for PCRE will be removed 
from Debian in the next stable release.

I personally would just stick to the glibc implementation, which uses 
LGPL-2.1 license. Can't Conda use glibc?

Kind Regards,

Bas
