I'm a total noob when it comes to any workarounds in the linker to
mitigate this, but googling around any weak symbol mitigation seems
very compiler/toolchain specific. I'm probably better off just
providing my own compile-time flag for "did you compile your PCRE with
JIT support?".

It's not. I was mistaken about that, that ifdef is always false
regardless of whether I compile with JIT or not, I just screwed up in
my testing and sent the E-Mail too quickly.

If I save away the include directory between --disable-jit and
--enable-jit it's exactly the same, i.e. there's no way to tell from a
macro whether pcre_exec_jit is compiled into the library.
