Maybe you should consider a less compiler-intensive implementation
then.  The URL below has links to a number of alternatives which will
probably work fine, including Henry Spencer's classic C implementation
and the PCRE library (Perl-compatible):

There are several C++ wrappers for PCRE available from here:

I'm most fond of the one in the file C++Wrapper.tar.gz (files are
called re.h and re.cpp).
