Description:
------------
Attempting to use external PCRE library (7.6), configured with

  --enable-static 
  --disable-shared 
  --enable-utf8 
  --enable-unicode-properties
  --disable-cpp 

in PHP 5.2.5, configured with (among other options):

--with-pcre-regex={PATH_TO_PCRE_INSTALLATION}

Results in calls to preg_match() with /u modifier triggering an error and stating that "this version of PCRE is not compiled with PCRE_UTF8 support".

Reproduce code:
---------------
preg_match('//u', '' );

Expected result:
----------------
<empty>

Actual result:
--------------
preg_match() [<a href='function.preg-match'>function.preg-match</a>]: Compilation failed: this version of PCRE is not compiled with PCRE_UTF8 support at offset 0 in ...

Might add some details from pcre-7.6:

pcre-7.6 configuration summary:
...
    Enable UTF-8 support ............ : yes
    Unicode properties .............. : yes
...

----[src/pcre_tables.c]--------------
#ifdef SUPPORT_UTF8

const int _pcre_utf8_table1[] =...
.....
----[src/pcre_tables.c]--------------

$ strings lib/libpcre.a | grep pcre_utf8_table1
_pcre_utf8_table1
...

So AFAIK, PCRE has been built successfully w/ UTF-8 support.

You've something broken on your end. I've compiled pcre with the same options as you did and it worked correctly.

It is quite possible that you are correct, and that the problem actually is on my side, but I would like for you to consider the following:

 - All software is built on a dedicated build-host, by automated scripts.
 - No other installations of PCRE exists on the system.
 - The same build-system is building a whole bunch of other software, all without problems.

With this background, you can surely see why I feel that simply stating that the problem is on my side is unsatisfactory, when all indications show that PCRE has been build successfully with UTF-8 support.

Since this is a stripped, dedicated buildhost, I can provide you with SSH access to it if you wish to validate my claims.
