These problematic regex tests were recently removed from sed:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/sed.git/commit/?id=97478b089

I'm therefore closing this bug.

I have tried to build sed-4.4 using DJGPP.  It has been configured using
--with-included-regex.  Non of the bug-regex*.exe can be build because
the required libsed.a is not linked to them.  The reason is that neither
testsuite_bug_regex*_LDADD nor LIBS are set to any usefull value.
testsuite_bug_regex*_LDADD is defined to LDADD but LDADD is not defined
at all and LIBS is also not defined at all.  You do not need DJGPP, I
think it can be checked with cygwin and/or mingw if and only if it is
build with --with-included-regex.  The other special tests have explicitly
set their special *_LDADD to libsed.a so  they build flawlesly.  In the end
you must decide if you still want to support these checks at all.
If more info is needed, please contact me.

Regards,
Juan M. Guerrero
