Xcode 16 beta was released on 2024-06-10 and ships with macOS SDK 15.0
[1]. It appears PostgreSQL does not compile due to typedef redefiniton
errors in the regex library:

I've reproduced this issue by:
1. Download the XCode 16 beta 2 ZIP file:
https://developer.apple.com/services-account/download?path=/Developer_Tools/Xcode_16_beta/Xcode_16_beta.xip
2. Extract this to `/tmp`.
3. Then I ran:
export
PATH=/tmp/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin:$PATH
export
SDKROOT=/tmp/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX15.0.sdk
export
XCODE_DIR=/tmp/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain
export CC="$XCODE_DIR/usr/bin/clang" export CXX="$XCODE_DIR/usr/bin/clang++"
./configure CC="$CC" CXX="$CXX"
make
The compilation goes through if I comment out the "#include
<xlocale/_regex.h>" from
/tmp/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX15.0.sdk/usr/include/xlocale.h.
However, even on macOS SDK 14.5 I see that include statement. I'm
still trying to figure out what changed here.
