The program captures_example is special: to build it you must define 
BOOST_REGEX_MATCH_EXTRA *both* when building that example, and when building 
the regex lib's.  This does not apply to any other examples though.

The error's you're seeing have all the hallmarks of some kind of binary 
incompatibity issue.

I suggest you build the test programs with bjam:

cd into libs/regex/test and

bjam regex_regress

If that passes OK then it's likely that the installed lib's on your Gentoo 
system are the problem.
