These are the default LDFLAGS Arch Linux uses:

LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro,-z,now"

If I link without '--as-needed' crydump etc. do work without segfaulting.

"configure --disable-pcre" does not work:

lib/glob.h:57:5: error: unknown type name ‘regex_t’

I have no idea how to change the linkage order to put pcre before glibc (don't know if and how this is possible, I'm a hardware guy), I'm just building with

autoreconf -f
./configure

so I think my only option is to drop '--as-needed' from LDFLAGS and execute

./configure LDFLAGS=${LDFLAGS/,--as-needed/}

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, highly appreciated.

Best Regards,
