Hello everyone,

The pre-compiled binary provided on the Download page [1] links against
libpcre.so.3. This library is unmaintained by upstream [2] and not
available on recent distributions, including Debian 13 [3], RHEL 10 and
Arch Linux.

I have been using spatch linked against PCRE2 (/usr/lib/libpcre.so.1)
extensively for days without any issues on Arch Linux.

Take care,
