Request to test rhino build on macOS 14-15

Hello all,

I recently opened a pull request to update the rhino port (see [0]).
Currently GitHub Actions reports the build succeeding for macOS 26 but
failing for macOS 14 and 15.  However, I suspect these failures may be
isolated to the CI environment.  So if anyone has access to macOS 14 or
15, would you be able to try building the updated port and letting me
know whether it succeeds?  And if it fails, could you attach the log?

The port uses Gradle to build.  The logs of both failed builds attribute
the failure to the Gradle daemon being killed early.  The relevant log
text being:

| The message received from the daemon indicates that the daemon has disappeared.
| [...]
| FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
| 
| * What went wrong:
| Gradle build daemon disappeared unexpectedly (it may have been killed or may have crashed)

I suspect this to be isolated to the CI environment because after
Googling this error, I found reports of it specifically occurring in CI
tests (see [1-2]).  The reports typically conclude the daemon was using
too much memory and thus it either killed itself due to reaching its
memory limit or it was killed by the system due to OOM.  I attempted to
fix the build failures by adjusting the max memory between 128 MB and 3
GB (hence all the force pushes), but to no avail.

Take care,
	Seth McDonald.
