libpcre2-dev presently Depends: libc6-dev. This is bad for e.g. alpha,
where the libc is libc6.1-dev. It also happens to break on musl. It
seems like you only want the development files for the C library here.
Please use plain libc-dev for that as any C library provides that.
Please consider applying the attached patch.
