--- Comment #12 from Philip Hazel <ph10@???> ---
First let me say that this is too late for 10.32, which I'm expecting to
release later on today.

I am not at all knowledgeable about linking details, but surely your suggestion
won't work because the regcomp() called from pcre2posix_regcomp() could still
be picked up from the wrong library.

Perhaps doing it the other way would help, that is, making the name of the
actual function pcre2_regcomp() and making regcomp() in the pcre2posix library
a wrapper for that. Then an application could call pcre2_regcomp() and be sure
of getting the PCRE2 version; if it called regcomp() it would be as now.
