Hi Philip,
Yes, this is aimed at PCRE1. The goal of this patch is so that
distribution build scripts (in my particular case nixpkgs) can enable
JIT when and only when the target supports it without needing any
complicated build logic, especially since there presumably won't be any
new JIT targets added. With this patch, ./configure --enable-jit=auto
will detect whether the target system is supported and enable JIT if so.
Thanks,
Shea
