[PATCH] regex: not all macOS platforms seem to have REG_ENHANCED

From: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Date: Mar 19, 2026, 22:37 UTC
Message-ID: <xmqq8qbnigxp.fsf@gitster.g>

Earlier, 54463d32 (use enhanced basic regular expressions on macOS, 2023-01-08) started to use the REG_ENHANCED option when ERE is not in use on macOS. The build seems to have started failing on macos-14 CI jobs at GitHub, however, as apparently not all the macOS platforms have this flag defined.
