That is strange, what kind of errors did you get ?

I thought that that was a constant defined by the POSIX regexp
interface, but looking at the manpage, it seems to be a GNU extension.
To get things to build, you can just put this at the top of fa.c
somewhere:

  #ifndef REG_NOERROR
  #define REG_NOERROR 0
  #endif

but I need to start getting more serious about making the code more
portable.

You'll probably get more build failures after this, since I use the GNU
regex interface, not the POSIX one. Ugh.
