Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 Replying to [comment:4 ryandesign@…]:
 > You have readline installed for x86_64, and are now trying to build it
 for i386, and the readline build is finding the old already-installed
 library of the wrong architecture instead of the new one it just built. To
 overcome this, you would deactivate the currently-installed readline (sudo
 port deactivate readline) before trying to build a new one.

 Sorry, I misread... you have readline installed for x86_64, and are now
 trying to build ''pcre'' for i386. It is peculiar that MacPorts did not
 attempt to rebuild readline for i386 on its own, since, as you showed
 above, it knows it's built for x86_64, and should know that it needs to
 rebuild it for i386. Still, my advice above holds: if you are deliberately
 switching build_arch, uninstall existing ports first.
