What's the difference between this and other forms in err.h? Is there
a 'v' version of it too?

Where would these be defined? If they're in a junk header I'm not so
opposed to them, but musl aims to have a cleaner namespace than legacy
systems, whereas at least ALLPERMS and DEFFILEMODE are ugly and don't
fit any sort of namespace pattern.
As for REG_STARTEND, is it an alias for some regex flag that already
exists, or a feature that would need to be implemented?
