1.  Just to confirm that the configure generated Makefile is what it
should be, what are the OPT and BASECFLAGS values?

2. Do a verbose run of the test_re test with the interpreter you built
above (ie with the default optimisations):
  ./python Lib/test/regrtest.py -v test_re >test_re.log 2>&1

3. If it coredumps (which I expect it to based on your advice above), use
gdb to get the backtrace.

The test log and the gdb backtrace should help isolate where things are
going astray.

BTW, I'm not sure why you're explicitly using --with-thread,
--with-signal-module and --with-pymalloc as they are all enabled by
default.  I'm also unsure as to whether you really need to specify
--with-cxx; it might be worth a try configure'ing without it.
