fb-re2 compiles and installs on macos but using gives segmentation fault

[Sorin Sbarnea]

While I suspect there is some specific local environment issue that produces this awful result, I think that we need to prevent it from building/installing a broken package.

pip install fb-re2
python -c "import re2; re2.compile('foo')"
[1]    99748 segmentation fault  python -c "import re2; re2.compile('foo')"

I was able to reproduce the error with both python3.6 and pyton3.7 installed using pyenv.

Note: I closed this not because the bug is not valid, but because I stopped using fb-re2. It still happens with 1.0.7 and with py36-py38 for sure. The error is bit different:

$ python3.6 -c "import re2; re2.compile('foo')"                                                                                                   [7:51:11]
