I managed to replicate this and save the build directory to inspect it!

Here's what happens:
Besides oe-core we're using meta-selinux which has a libpcre-%.bbappend
which moves the location of libpcre.so from /usr/lib to /lib in the
sysroot and points the symlink to the file in /lib using relative paths.

ldd tests/gen-all-unicode gives this:

$ ldd tests/gen-all-unicode
	linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fff27263000)
	libglib-2.0.so.0 => /mnt/build/jenkins-jobs/nilrt_OE_toolchain-cardassia/workspace/build/tmp-glibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 (0x00007f542823a000)
	libpcre.so.1 => not found
	libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f542801d000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f5427c72000)
	libpcre.so.1 => /mnt/build/jenkins-jobs/nilrt_OE_toolchain/workspace/build/tmp-glibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/lib/../../lib/libpcre.so.1 (0x00007f5427a2f000)
	/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f5428546000)

I don't understand why libpcre.so.1 appears twice with the first not found.

The file pointed to by the libpcre.so.1 symlink exists but somehow the
loader can't find it? Maybe it's the ../.. in the path? or does an
variable like LD_LIBRARY_PATH need to be set in the bb recipe/append?
