Unit libpcre2_16 not found (on macos)

Trying to build fpc (git) trunk on macOS 14 for SUB_TARGET=unicodertl

[M2:~/fpc-svn/source/packages] administrator% make all FPC=/usr/local/lib/fpc/3.3.1/ppca64 SUB_TARGET=unicodertl OPT=-dUSEWIDESTRING

which works for the rtl but fails for packages as follows

Michael Van Canneyt replied that on macOS libpcre2_8 must be used
