I tried it. I applied your patch to Makefile.am, ran ./autogen.sh, then ran "make dist". I'm afraid there are differences. I got a pcre.h.generic that had all the settings for "make distcheck", which was very different to the version that is distributed in the 8.31 tarball. I was expecting this, because when I ran "make dist" I saw a PCRE configuration that had all those settings, even though I wasn't running "distcheck". Perhaps I did something wrong?
