Public bug reported:

Ubuntu carries 'no_jit_ppc64el.patch' in the debian/patches directory.
As the name suggests, this patch disables JIT on ppc64 little-endian.
This used to be necessary because JIT was broken on little endian.

However, JIT on ppc64 little endian has been supported in pcre3 since
version 8.35 (see http://www.pcre.org/original/changelog.txt - point 19
for version 8.35). Given that Ubuntu has shipped 8.35 since Utopic, this
patch should now be dropped.

** Affects: pcre3 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
