Well found! I agree that is likely to be the problem, But why is it
failing?

Different releases of something? It looks as though the test run of the
linker with the -i flag is not failing, as I assume it should on Solaris
as the comment implies it is an OS X thing. Can you try a way out test,
and replace -i__ZN7pcrecpp6no_argE:__ZN7pcrecpp2RE6no_argE with
something else (e.g. -i__junkjunkjunk) just to see what happens?
