The latest version of php53u-5.3.5-1 implements this change, and is
currently in ius-testing.  We would really appreciate any feedback on
testing before we push this to stable.

Thanks!

Title:
  php53 forces use of outdated PCRE

Status in IUS Community Project:
  Fix Committed
Status in IUS Community Project el5-stable series:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  php53 contains pcre 8.0 or better (cf. bug 532171) which is great.
  php53.x86_64 (5.3.2-6.ius.el5) is compiled with '--with-pcre-regex=/usr' which ignores built-in pcre in favour of system pcre.
  Between CentOS base, EPEL and IUS repos, the best system pcre available is pcre-6.6-2.el5_1.7

  Therefore the compilation flag '--with-pcre-regex=/usr' forces a major
  reduction in pcre functionality, unless user is willing to find
  bespoke pcre rpm or compile from source.

  Specifically, the old pcre causes problems on systems running Drupal 6
  and better
