Neither the source code nor the binary of conftest.exe was provided
by PCRE. It was not contained in the published PCRE ZIP file. There
is nothing that PCRE can do to fix or even validate your conftest.exe
since it is not a part of the PCRE package.

It is a part of your MinGW package. You might find the source code
"conftest.c" within one of your MinGW installation paths. Searching
the internet finds that MinGW's conftest has been previously flagged
as a potential trojan, perhaps sometimes falsely.

Submit your conftest.exe file to http://www.virustotal.com/
You'll get a report of potential detections by a large number of
anti-virus, anti-trojan, etc. packages.
