background:
I'm trying to test the config as we produce to build Exim in Gentoo,
that config specifies PCRE_CONFIG at the moment (will update for next
release to PCRE2_CONFIG).

So, hacking this is a bit more complex for me, as the config is being
generated from the Gentoo ebuild.

(I once wanted to test a bunch of configurations, but the build-env is
all but flexible to do so.)

Thanks,
Fabian
