If there is a --enable-pcre option, it is a strong indication that PCRE
is not mandatory. Indeed:

$ ./configure --help
[...]
--enable-pcre           use PCRE instead of GNU regex (default GNU)

So PCRE is not mandatory.

Since this variable no longer exists...

This assignment becomes totally pointless.

You should add a --disable-tcpkill here, and then in your PATCH 2/2,
add the optional dependency on libdnet.

Your series on wireshark has the same issue: the first patch should
ensure all new optional dependencies are unconditionally disabled, and
then follow-up patches should enable them conditionally. This is
necessary for a correctly bisectable patch series. When patches are so
close in the same series, it's not a big big deal, but it's always
better when it's done really correctly.

Thanks!
