While preparing for upgrading some systems to 7.4 today, I found that the nginx-lua module currently doesn't load. It uses libpcre but doesn't link against it, and this used to work when nginx itself used libpcre, but now it's using libpcre2. I figure the simplest thing to do is to just link the module against libpcre, which the diff below seems to manage.
lua-nginx-module upstream added pcre2 support recently, so it may be possible to backport that to the version we're stuck at, but that seems like a post-release type of solution.
