I looked at the qemu sources and I can't see where they need pcre (or
pcre2 for that matter) ... So I've no idea why the spec file
BuildRequires pcre-static.
Behold, the glory of git:
[adamw@xps13k qemu (f36 %)]$ git log -S'pcre-static' --oneline --name-status
0835325 Introduce qemu-user-static sub-RPM

Introduce qemu-user-static sub-RPM
The i686 build of this is temp disabled due to fubar
glibc-static on i686
The hardended build macro is disabled due to fubar
rpm macros for static linking while hardened, but
the equivalent hardening is turned on manually.

This of course begs a question: did qemu also have a non-static pcre
requirement at the time? But it seems not:
[adamw@xps13k qemu (f36 %)]$ git show 0835325:qemu.spec | grep pcre
BuildRequires: glibc-static pcre-static glib2-static zlib-static
so, I'm not sure why Daniel concluded this needs a BuildRequires on
pcre-static, but the obvious thing to do would be to ask him, I guess.
