I tested 8.32-RC1 configured with --enable-pcretest-libreadline --enable-utf
--enable-unicode-properties --enable-pcre8 --enable-pcre16 --enable-pcre32
successfully with glibc Linux on following platforms:

ARMv6 --enable-jit
i686 --enable-jit
PPC --enable-jit
PPC64 --enable-jit
s390 --disable-jit
s390x --disable-jit
x86_64 --enable-jit

Compilation and all tests passed.

I will check MIPS later.


I noticed compilation on the PPC64 only (gcc-4.7.2) spits these warnings:

Linking on the ARMv6 (gcc-4.5.4, binutils-2.22) warns about text relocation
which means some of source objects have been compiled without -fPIC:

CXXLD libpcrecpp.la
/usr/lib/gcc/armv6j-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi/4.5.4/../../../../armv6j-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld: warning: creating a DT_TEXTREL in a shared object.

But this looks like a bug in my toolchain because after running make V=1
I can see all three PCRE objects have been compiled with -fPIC.
