In regex.c 0.11, CHAR_SET_SIZE is defined only if SYNTAX_TABLE is not
defined.  As a matter of convenience, why not simply:

#ifndef CHAR_SET_SIZE 256
#define CHAR_SET_SIZE 256
#endif

after the SYNTAX_TABLE if.  So one could redefine it if needed, but
not being forced to.  Even better, one could parallel an:

extern int char_set_size;

to:

extern char *re_syntax_table;

so the user could dynamically provide both the table and its size.
