But it caused an initial stumbling block to me when I first tried to
restart my maxima core. As far as I remember, a failing dynamic link
gives an error different from FILE-ERROR

This is where I am confused as the regex.h that comes with glibc on my
Linux indicates that this is indeed version 0.12 GNU regex

And perhaps with a robust determination of whether the naive user has
installed regex 0.12, wants to use glibc's regex or omit it
all. As for my complaint about FILE-ERROR above, we might think about
distributing a sufficiently intelligent maxima.core...
