Well, I tracked back from the GNU/LilyPond build system - it seems to originate in glibc, but in the GNU/LilyPond build system it has been extracted out as a separate library. http://lilypond.org/download/gub-sources/regex-2.3.90-1.tar.bz2
By building this with --disable-shared I have obtained a library which links to guile and ice-9/regex is now working inside Denemo. Thank you very much for your help.
