Hard to say, but how about if we simply make __re_error_msgid and
__re_error_msgid_idx static instead of extern with attribute_hidden?
The attribute_hidden stuff is a relic of the old regex implementation,
as far as I can see.

The idea would be to remove the declarations of these two variables
from regex_internal.h, replace "const char __re_error_msgid[]
attribute_hidden =" with "static const char __re_error_msgid[] =",
and similarly for the other variable.
