Maybe #1245 has your solution? Was having similar issues and that sorted it for me.

My steps:

• brew uninstall binutils
• download and install Mac OS 10.14 command line tools for Xcode 10.2 manually (for some reason xcode-select --install didn't do the magic for me)
• sudo installer -pkg /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg -target / after installing command line tools, per Common Build Problems

Worked a treat.
