I suspect pcre may use C++, which uses CXX flags.
Could you try adding the following to mk.conf:
CFLAGS+=-O1 # for c
CXXFLAGS+=-O1 # for c++
MAKE_FLAGS+=-O1 # For imake
In each case the line is adding (the +=) "-O1" to the existing compiler options.
The default compiler optimisation option is -O2 (For optimise very
hard, and trade off large quantities of memory and time compiling for
small runtime gains).
-O1 is optimise relatively well, but do not spend large quantities of
memory and compile time
-O0 is do not optimise at all, which gives the fastest compile, but
definitely worse runtime performance.
