it seems that the regex module which is part of your system (probably
part of libc) is not compatible with diff.

If your libc was sufficiently new version of GNU libc, you'd be able
to configure --without-included-regex.
As it seems it isn't, it's safer to use the version of regex library
packed with diff.

Hope this explains it,
