Description James Taylor 2016-10-16 08:39:47 UTC 
dev-vcs/git-2.10.1+ introduced a check to make sure REGSTARTEND is available on the system, and builds appear to fail without it on a system where this isn't supported.

In my case, builds are failing when compiled against musl-libc without the NO_REGEX=YesPlease flag being passed to portage. I have temporarily added an environment file to make sure this is always set.

    dev-vcs/git: Fix build on musl
    
    2.10.1+ introduce a configuration option which enables non-posix compatible
    regex by default, which breaks compilation on musl.
