[pcre-dev] Error building pcre

When I build I get this error (this is on the second 'make' so the debug
spew is shorter than on first failure):

[root@localhost pcre-8.21]# make
make  all-am
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/eric/Downloads/pcre-8.21'

-o pcrecpp.lo pcrecpp.cc
libtool: compile: unrecognized option `-DHAVE_CONFIG_H'

make[1]: *** [pcrecpp.lo] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/eric/Downloads/pcre-8.21'
make: *** [all] Error 2

What is going on? What do I need to fix?

Thanks
