I tested the 8.36-RC1 release with --enable-pcretest-libreadline --enable-utf
--enable-unicode-properties --enable-pcre8 --enable-pcre16 --enable-pcre32
options on Linux and JIT enabled where available on these platforms:

ppc
s390
x86_64
ppc64
i686
s390x
ppc64le
aarch64
armv6j

The code builds without any warnings and all tests pass.

The only exception is ppc64 which still needs -fno-strict-aliasing GCC option
to keep the warnings quiet.

I've also tested aarch64 with and without JIT successfully. Does that mean
that JIT on 64-bit ARM is not experimental anymore? Do you consider it
stable enough?
