Hi Markus,
  the debian package of pcre-ocaml does not built on some architectures
(e.g. hppa) due to a missing -fPIC flag which is not passed to the C
compiler while compiling pcre_stubs.o. You can find a full build log
exhibiting the problem here:

  http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=3Dpcre-ocaml&ver=3D5.10.0-2&arch=
=3Dhppa&stamp=3D1122772112&file=3Dlog&as=3Draw

AFAICT the bug is in OCamlMakefile which fails to pass PIC_CFLAGS when
inovking ocamlmklib. I thus suppose that adding "-ccopt -fPIC" in the
"$(DLLSONAME)" rule would be enough. Still, since I don't know
OCamlMakefile in detail I ask your advice on this.

Full bug report of the debian user who reported the problem (Cc-ed) is
available here:

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=3D320624

Thanks in advance.
