thx Rich,
I found a similar solution in a 'file' package:
else {
regmatch_t pmatch[1];
#ifndef REG_STARTEND
#define REG_STARTEND 0
size_t l = ms->search.s_len - 1;
char c = ms->search.s[l];
((char *)(intptr_t)ms->search.s)[l] = '\0';
#else
pmatch[0].rm_so = 0;
pmatch[0].rm_eo = ms->search.s_len;
#endif
rc = regexec(&rx, (const char *)ms->search.s,
1, pmatch, REG_STARTEND);
#if REG_STARTEND == 0
((char *)(intptr_t)ms->search.s)[l] = c;
#endif
switch (rc) {
case 0:
