I forgot about grep having the -m parameter to restrict the number of matches. 

Here you see it returns the single directory that would be assigned to the env variable.
(python_training) bartm002@C02FM1E2MD6T ~ % dirname $(brew ls -v libgccjit | grep -m 1 -E 'libgccjit\.(so|dylib)$')
/usr/local/Cellar/libgccjit/12.1.0/lib/gcc/current

Here I show the problem with multiple hits, the dirname result to be assigned is two lines.
(python_training) bartm002@C02FM1E2MD6T ~ % dirname $(brew ls -v libgccjit | grep -m 2 -E 'libgccjit\.(so|dylib)$')
/usr/local/Cellar/libgccjit/12.1.0/lib/gcc/current
/usr/local/Cellar/libgccjit/12.1.0/lib/gcc/12

Either dirname result is good to use, just not both. Adding the "-m 1" to the existing grep would not introduce more dependencies.
