PCRE fails to build on Linux i686

[jdemeyer]

Since we enabled the testsuite for PCRE, it fails on the arando patchbot for example:

[pcre-8.40.p1] FAIL: RunTest
[pcre-8.40.p1] FAIL: pcrecpp_unittest
[pcre-8.40.p1] FAIL: pcre_scanner_unittest
[pcre-8.40.p1] PASS: pcre_stringpiece_unittest
[pcre-8.40.p1] PASS: RunGrepTest
[pcre-8.40.p1] ============================================================================

Does it actually fail to build, or is it just a testsuite issue? We make no promises that all package testsuites work on all machines, in fact they do not.

It doesn't build because we run the testsuite as part of the build.

Do not always run the PCRE testsuite

Oh good, this approach makes much more sense.
