xterm doesn't compile on MacOS 14.1 (23B74)

[marcopeereboom (Marco Peereboom)]

It's an easy fix. Basically it needs --with-pcre2 during configure and remove DarwinMachineDefines from CFLAGS.

I don't know how macports work hence I reported it instead of sending a fix.

Thanks for the great work!

Since we've had successful builds of this port without those changes, what are the error messages that you got?

First I tried binary install and xterm does not seem available on the mirrors.
