           Summary: pcre-config adds superfluous -L/usr/lib to pcre-config -
                    -libs result
           Product: PCRE
           Version: 4.5
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: work:small
          Severity: bug
          Priority: medium
         Component: Code
        AssignedTo: ph10@???
        ReportedBy: JskudExim@???
                CC: pcre-dev@???

pcre-config (unknown version)is apparently good enough to return nothing for
--cflags when the include path is /usr/include, but it supplies -L/usr/lib
-lpcre as the result for pcre-config --libs; -I/usr/include would be redundent,
and is omitted. -L/usr/lib is also redundent, but is not omitted.

Octave (www.octave.org) uses autoconf to detect and use pcre if available, and
we discovered this behavior, and are requesting that the superfluous -L/usr/lib
be omitted from the pcre-config --libs response.

Thanks.
