Prior to macOS SDK 15, there were include guards in
$SDK_ROOT/usr/include/xlocale/_regex.h:
#ifndef _REGEX_H_
#include <_regex.h>
#endif // _REGEX_H_
#include <_xlocale.h>
In macOS SDK 15, these include guards are gone:
#include <_regex.h>
#include <_xlocale.h>
Because _REGEX_H_ was defined locally in PostgreSQL's version of
src/include/regex/regex.h, these include guards prevented duplicate
definitions from $SDK_ROOT/usr/include/_regex.h (not to be confused
with $SDK_ROOT/usr/include/xlocale/_regex.h).
As a result, attempting to compile PostgreSQL with macOS SDK 15 fails
with "previous definition is here" errors for regoff_t, regex_t, and
regmatch_t structures.
To fix this build issue, define __REGEX_H_ to prevent macOS from
including the header that contain redefinitions of the local regex
structures.
