Oh gosh, that is somewhere in the magic that is generated by autoconf,
about which I know nothing, and I rather suspect that most folks on this
list know nothing about it either. Prove me wrong, anybody?

Under Gentoo Linux, I get two identical lines:

checking for alias support in the linker... no
checking for alias support in the linker... no

and then it moves on. I've had a quick look at ./configure, and it seems
that this check is concerned with compiling the C++ wrapper. First, I
suggest you try ./configure --disable-cpp to see if you can compile the
main C library without the C++ wrapper. If you really need the C++
wrapper, all I can suggest is that you hack about in ./configure, look
for that message, and cut out the section where it appears.

Further checking shows that the test originates in ./configure.ac. Is
that in the distribution? Perhaps not. You can get it from the svn
repository if you want to play with things at that level:

svn co svn://vcs.exim.org/pcre/code/trunk pcre
