Peter Simons 5649af8523 pkgs/development/libraries/pcre: fixed build on Darwin
The gcc version used on Darwin fails to compile the C++ interface to the PCRE
library when optimizations are enabled. Building C++ code with -O0 remedies the
problem. This is unsatisfactory, though, because the resulting library is
likely to perform more poorly than it would if built with -O2 or -O3.

longDescription = ''
The PCRE library is a set of functions that implement regular
expression pattern matching using the same syntax and semantics as
Perl 5. PCRE has its own native API, as well as a set of wrapper
functions that correspond to the POSIX regular expression API. The
PCRE library is free, even for building proprietary software.
