So, I had a quick look at pcre3 and I think the problem you are running
into is, that pcre3 builds a C++ library (libcprecpp0v5)
Maintaining a symbols file for a C++ ABI is indeed painful, but a C ABI
only like exposed by pcre2 is a breeze in comparison.

I use symbols files for all my (C) libraries for many years now and
never really ran into any issues.
