Thank you!  This worked.  (FWIW: I did this by uncommenting the line

export STATIC = yes

in the top-level Makefile.conf)

I don't understand how to refer to the pcre module with ocamlc or the
toplevel, but I suspect this is more of a newbie question so I'm moving
it into the caml-beginnners list.

Many thanks.
