Hi Mark,
I've applied the attached patch to the pcre3 package in Ubuntu to make
libpcre3-dev Multi-Arch: same. This requires post-processing of the
pcre-config script to make sure it's identical across all architectures, but
these edits do not impact the functionality of the script - the paths are
only needed when building for certain non-Linux architectures. In fact, the
paths are being used on the kfreebsd architectures (bug #568744) but
shouldn't be.
This change is useful because it enables libglib2.0-dev to also be
co-installable, which is a prerequisite for cross-compiling some software.
Thanks for considering the patch.
