[R-SIG-Mac] Xcode 10.3 and header flles

[Bryan Hanson]

If it helps troubleshoot, I updated more or less on the same timeline as Roy did and had the same problems Roy had, and Roy’s most recent response below gives the same response on my Mac.  Roy’s fix * fixed things for me.  Bryan

I am not certain exactly what macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg installs nor where,  but I as I said I went from being able to install packages from source to not being able to because headers couldn't be found to be able to.  And I have a feeling others will run into the same problem.

This morning installing a package update from source failed,  couldn't find header files (gee I have seen this before).  Ran the command I put below,  everybody was happy.  It does appear that the update literally deleted the headers.
