[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Building against a different version of PCRE2 that the one that is provided
with the system is complicated by the fact that unlike what is advertised,
if a pkg-config module for libpcre2-8 is found, it will override the values
that were provided with PCRE_CFLAGS and PCRE_LIBS.
