I checked out the source and it appears to fall back fine when libpcre2 is built without JIT. * Tested on SPARC (tests pass except one unrelated failure, git grep -P works); * Tested on amd64 with USE=jit flipped on libpcre2 both ways without recompiling git once compiled against a certain state, to ensure no ABI breakage occurs (none, as expected due to the pcre2_config call) So, we can change the dependency in git to dev-libs/libpcre2 and drop the JIT masks: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/commit/c77f3ab0d1692784b1b56cee0ef0805ed81f7d42.
