More data points: Fedora 20 and OS/X work both with pcre-8.33, so I
conclude this is a problem specific to some Debian-specific patch.

I expect to push that patch as-is and defer to a separate commit
(or maybe even skip altogether) any portability hack that might warn
or disable PCRE support when detecting the broken library.
