I am currently investigating how to best build MariaDB 10.3 for Arch.

It turned out that pcre has an bug, due to which MariaDB can't use it.
It's currently worked around in the MariaDB package by using a bundled pcre version which has been patched.

The upstream report is here, they agreed it's a bug, but they don't work anymore on the pcre1 version (the 8.x series)
At the end is the patch, with which one can successfully build MariaDB.

https://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2173

We could apply the patch to the pcre package, or continuing to work around it by shipping MariaDB with the bundled pcre.

Additional info:
* pcre 8.42
This task depends upon

What I forgot to mention: Compiling pcre with -O0 leads as well to correct behaviour.

[1] is marked fixed in 10.5.1 so the current mariadb package should be able to use the system supplied pcre2 if desired.
