Are you basing that on the file command output? Keep in mind the symbol table size is not dependent on the bitwidth of the binaries in the archive but rather the size of of the ar archive itself. From ar man page: -S When building the archive symbol table, force the use of the 64-bit capable symbol table format. By default, the 32-bit format is used for all archives smaller than 4GB, and the larger format is used for larger archives that exceed the 32-bit limit. The compile error doesn't appear related to pcre though. It looks to be more still an openssl related problem.
