Building with PCRE (not PCRE2) works for me.
The potential transition to PCRE2 is already tracked elsewhere.

Closing report.

Octave currently uses pcre not pcre2, which I believe is not a dropin replacement.

Bug #61542 has the original request for using pcre2.

checking for pcre.h... no
checking for pcre/pcre.h... no
configure: error: to build Octave, you must have the PCRE library and header files installed

in fact PCRE is now installed as

base) root@euclid:/usr/include# ll pcre*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 46818 Dec  7  2019 pcre2.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  6677 Dec  7  2019 pcre2posix.h
