Follow-up Comment #5, patch #7017 (project grep):
a configure test wouldnt be useful either. people building packages will
have libpcre.so on their system so the configure test would pass. but the
systems where that package gets deployed will fail most of the time because
people arent installing the libpcre development files. plus, libpcre.so could
be a linker script and not an actual ELF.
so again, this proposed code isnt going to work.
also, the current configure code does a libdl check but then doesnt actually
review the result. using_dl should not be set to yes if AC_CHECK_LIB([dl],
[dlopen]) fails.
