I'm pretty sure no-one wants to set up a Yocto environment just to reproduce this failure. :) There's really no completely safe way to rewrite that regular expression. But I think you can avoid even invoking it by passing --with-serf=/path/to/serf/prefix to configure; if the Serf path is provided, we won't invoke pkg-config. Can you give that a try, please, and report the result? -- Brane
