John,

No, the regex lib does not go on to build.
The compiler error:
libs/regex/build/has_icu_test.cpp:12:30: error: unicode/uversion.h: No such
file or directory
is from trying to compile has_icu_test.cpp with my cross-compiler tools
which do not have the icu libraries and header files installed.
So it can not find unicode/uversion.h.

Why is it trying to compile has_icu_test.cpp when has_icu builds = no, as
shown below in my output?
