+      The following build instructions will produce a universal binary,
+      allowing both 32- and 64-bit code to link to pcre. Whenever replacing
+      libraries which came with the OS, it is necessary to compile them as
+      universal binaries (even if you are only going to use one architecture)
+      to avoid disrupting unrelated code which might also link to the library.
