>Description:
        When building devel/pcre on NetBSD/Sparc64 2.0.1, the self test
        dies with 

        Testing error reporting
        Testing recursion
        Testing recursion
        *** Signal 11

        Stop.
        make: stopped in /home/obj/pkg/devel/pcre/work/pcre-6.3
        *** Error code 1

        and in the work directory, one finds a core dump
        -rw-------  1 gert  wheel  2744320 Sep  7 09:40 pcrecpp_unittest.core

        where exactly the core dump happens is hard to say, as the build
        process didn't compile with "-g" - gdb says:

(gdb) where
#0  0x000000004090c124 in pcre_dfa_exec ()
   from /home/obj/pkg/devel/pcre/work/pcre-6.3/./.libs/libpcre.so.0
   Cannot access memory at address 0xffffffffffdfdec8

        the "old" PCRE version (5.0nb1) went through all tests fine, but
        now I need to upgrade due to security fixes.


>How-To-Repeat:
        cd /usr/pkgsrc/devel/pcre
        make PKGSRC_RUN_TEST?=yes
>Fix:
        dunno, I assume it's a 64bit or little-endian/big-endian issue
