This is not essential! Instead try the code snippet below.

I have step by step narrowed the cause of failure.
It turns out that uClibc cannot handle the desired
regular expression. This is the case for 0.9.28
(on Bering-C and ATNGW100/avr32), and since the
relevant codebase has been untouched for quite
some time, I expect the same thing to hold for
uClibc 0.9.29.
After experimentation a minimal test is a follows:
#### CODE ####
#!/bin/sh
lager=/tmp/tillf
{
echo -e "abab\nbaab\nabba" | egrep '^(a?[ab]|ba){2}$'
echo -e "abab\nbaab\nabba" | egrep '^(ba|a?[ab]){2}$'
} > $lager # | tee $lager
echo "$(wc -l < $lager) matches out of intended 6."
cat $lager
rm $lager
#### END OF CODE ####
The intended six matches appear on a GNU-system
and on OpenBSD, but only five matches appear on
Bering-uC 3.1 and a uC-0.9.28-based avr32-system.
The problem lies in '?' preceeding '|', but not
the other way around.
