Noticed this is on 64-bit FreeBSD 7.2 (RELENG and STABLE), using the tarball.

When the local Makefile does not specify LOOKUP_LIBS the build would fail at
the end (ld: cannot find -lpcre)

Other than specifying LOOKUP_LIBS, the solution would be to specify PCRE_LIBS
as follows:

PCRE_LIBS=-L/usr/local/lib -lpcre
