Gentoo policy is not to use bundled libraries, so having it depend on an USE
flag is a bad idea. Also, with pcre USE flag off, privoxy fails in this way:

because there is a prebuilt version in the tarball too.
And also, configure reports:
configure: WARNING: You are using the static PCRE code which is scheduled for
removal, for details see:
https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=20080511195555.2dc6cfdc%40fabiankeil.de
Solution: drop the pcre USE flag and always enable dynamic pcre with libpcre as
an hard dependency.
Thanks,
