Good day.  We have been using MariaDB in our product for a while, and are upgrading to 10.5.8 at the moment.  I’ve just noticed that it’s no longer using the PCRE on our system, it’s grabbing its own from outside since the upgrade to PCRE2.

We’re not using PCRE extensions at all in our applications, and I’d rather not pull in another extraneous library.  We are a largely embedded product, and adding libraries is a technical and bureaucratic effort.  Can I just build mariadb without PCRE support at all, using the traditional extended POSIX regexps instead?  I don’t see a way to do this in the cmake files/parameters.
