FWIW for quite a couple of recent builds, `pu` fails on Windows with a
variation of this error:
CC blob.o
In file included from revision.h:5:0,
from bisect.c:4:
grep.h:16:19: fatal error: pcre2.h: No such file or directory
#include <pcre2.h>
^
compilation terminated.
Maybe this can be fixed before hitting `next`?
Ciao,
