I tested it successfully on Linux with glibc with these options:

--disable-bsr-anycrlf --disable-coverage --disable-ebcdic
--enable-newline-is-lf --enable-pcre2-8 --enable-pcre2-16 --enable-pcre2-32
--disable-pcre2test-libedit --enable-pcre2test-libreadline
--disable-pcre2grep-libbz2 --disable-pcre2grep-libz
--disable-rebuild-chartables --enable-shared --enable-stack-for-recursion
--enable-static --enable-unicode --disable-valgrind

on following platforms:

With JIT:
ARMv6
AArch64
AMD64
i686
PowerPC 32-bit
PowerPC 64-bit little-endian
PowerPC 64-bit big-endian

Without JIT:
s390
s390x

Nice job.

But the only thing which puzzles me is why the libpcre2_{8.16,32}'s soname was
changed from 0 to 2. I cannot se any incompatible change in API and ABI. Is it
because of the EBCDIC behavior change which is not visible with
--disable-ebcdic compile-time option?
