>Description:
Compiling devel/pcre (version 6.6) yields the following:

 g++ -c -g -O2 -I. -I. -DPOSIX_MALLOC_THRESHOLD=10 ./pcrecpp.cc  -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/pcrecpp.o

>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/pkgsrc/devel/pcre
make
>Fix:
At first this seemed to be a silly forgotten #include, but the problem looks a bit more subtle.  That "NULL undeclared" has me most puzzled.
