Bug#755439: glib2.0: likely future FTBFS with pcre3/8.35: TEST_MATCH_ALL* regex tests fail

[Simon McVittie]

Source: glib2.0
Version: 2.40.0-3
Severity: important
Tags: upstream
Forwarded: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=733325

The GLib tests are going to fail with PCRE 8.35, see referenced
upstream bug. Some of the failures are clearly spurious and can be
patched out, but some look like a genuine bug, either in GLib or PCRE
(my guess would be PCRE but I'm not sure).

This should maybe be Severity: serious, and should maybe be assigned
to PCRE, but it'd probably be better with a test case that only uses PCRE API
first.
