I don't see how that could be my problem: the generated cygpcre-0.dll 
exports the four symbols needed by the cygcpcreposix-0.dll (pcre_compile, 
pcre_exec, pcre_free and pcre_info). Libtool could easily have linked the 
pcreposix library to the pcre library - and should have done so. I see no 
reason why it shouldn't have.
