That clearly needs a bit more work, it provides a class that's used. It also needs access to the private header; the public Regex.h header lacks the definition for a private type.
I'll leave this to someone else to figure out. I was trying a standalone build with the lldb source tree at its usual location so I could simply correct the include statement (#include "../../../lib/Support/regex_impl.h"). 

I must say that there is a significant advantage to doing a standalone build if you already have all dependencies in place. The resulting build directory is over twice smaller than it is when you do an official/full configure and then invoke make in the tools/lldb subdirectory. The build time must be proportionally shorter.
