I am building a simple tool to be used in openSUSE Leap 15.4. It’s build via OBS as a rpm package.
Locally it works fine, but when build via OBS the linker cannot resolv the pcre library. I’ve tried to change the compiler. Found out about my working local build which PCRE library was chosen exactly, tried a different library and even checked via objdump if the missing pcre_compile symbol is available in the libpcre1.so (it is). I’ve changed the compiler from gcc-7 to gcc-11.
This is the error on a OBS build for openSUSE Leap 15.4:
[ 3s] gcc-11 -O2 -D_GNU_SOURCE -DNDEBUG -c -Wall -o built.o built.c
[ 3s] gcc-11 -Wall -lpcre -o tck104328 tck104328.o manageblocklist.o built.o

this is the according rpm package:

Now I am out of ideas. Hopefully anyone here can hint me on some path.
