Looking into the code a bit more, it looks like a DEBUG_ASSERT would not 
be appropriate at least for the first 'abort ()' since the code is 
trying to make glibc regerror more user- and debugger-friendly, and 
using DEBUG_ASSERT would make it less friendly.

Can you compile regexec.c with -Dabort=gnu_abort instead?
