I found the issue. Very odd. For some reason, when I last built PCRE, it did not create symlinks for some of the files. These were missing:
/usr/local/lib/libpcre.so -> libpcre.so.0.0.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 16 Jul 17 16:55 /usr/local/lib/libpcre.so.0 -> libpcre.so.0.0.1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root other 433948 Jul 12 2006 /usr/local/lib/libpcreposix.so -> libpcreposix.so.0.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 21 Jul 17 16:56 /usr/local/lib/libpcreposix.so.0 -> libpcreposix.so.0.0.0
So it must have been using the static libs when it linked.
If you still have the old binary around you can run nm on it and look for the references to the functions you are interested in. In this case pcre.
nm hobbitd |grep -i pcre
[289] | 248184| 0|FUNC |GLOB |0 |UNDEF |pcre_compile
[228] | 248196| 0|FUNC |GLOB |0 |UNDEF |pcre_exec
[480] | 255612| 4|OBJT |GLOB |0 |22 |pcre_free
In this case the hobbitd binary has UNDEF for the routines with pcre. The system linker/loader would have to resolve these by using external libs such as the .so versions of the lib or the binary is a no-go.
Any statically linked routines wouldn't have UNDEF.
