Configure fails for us when building httpd-2.4.53 from source using the --with-pcre option. The error occurs on both RHEL 8 and Solaris 11.3. A prior release of httpd (httpd-2.4.51) builds successfully in these same environments with the same commands.
We're using apr 1.7.0, apr-util 1.6.1, PCRE 8.4.1 and OpenSSL 1.1.1l.
Our configure command is:
./configure --prefix=/path/to/apache \
--with-crypto --with-openssl=/path/to/ssl \
--with-included-apr \
--with-pcre=/path/to/pcre \
--with-ssl=/path/to/ssl
The specific error on RHEL 8 is different than the error on Solaris, but on both platforms /path/to/pcre/bin/pcre-config is executable by the build user, as are all the PCRE libraries.
Console output from configure on RHEL 8 shows:
checking for -pcre2-config... no
checking for -pcre-config... no
checking for pcre2-config... no
checking for pcre-config... pcre-config
configure: error: Did not find working script at pcre-config
and config.log on RHEL 8 shows:

and contents of config.log on Solaris 11 show:

We notice significant changes were made to configure between 2.4.51 and 2.4.53.
Thanks for any suggestions.
