Both libgthread and libglib have /usr/lib64/libpcre.la in
dependency_libs, so this file must have existed when glib was built. Now
it does not.

Your choices are:
1) rebuild glib (when rebuilt without the presence of
/usr/lib64/libpcre.la, that will not appear in dependency_libs)
2) rebuild/reinstall 64bit pcre (to get the .la file back)
3) edit the glib .la files by hand and change /usr/lib64/libpcre.la to
-lpcre (ugly)
