I'd check $PATH and maybe $LD_PRELOAD for things pointing into
/compat/linux . Moving /usr/compat/linux/lib/libpcre.so.0 out of the
way might change the error message and help you track down the cause.
Running "ktrace -d" or "truss -f" on your port build might help too.
Another possibility is that the freebsd-port version of
/usr/local/lib/libpcre.so.0 has gotten damaged somehow. FreeBSD's grep
doesn't link with pcre so it's sort of unlikely that that would be the
cause, though.
