Hi Everyone,

I have a script to build Git on some old platforms to ease testing. Old platforms include CentOS 5. The script is available at https://github.com/noloader/Build-Scripts/blob/master/build-ssh.sh.

It looks like something got knocked loose recently. I'm seeing several of these when building with PCRE 8.41 with Git 2.14.2. Old and new platforms are witnessing it. I observe it on CentOS 5 with GCC 4.1; and Fedora 26 with GCC 7.2.
