I ran into this trying to compile xdebug on my system, I had to do the following to get it to work

0) Check that you have the file /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg on your system.

1) If not, install the command line tools (I had installed them at one point, but the files under /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/ were missing so I must have deleted it...)

xcode-select --install

2) Reinstall the header files

sudo installer -pkg /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg -target /
