Yes, I already had to dothis in my build scripts on Mojave. I defined an
"FIXMOJAVE" environment var, which contains that -XR/Library/... path you
wrote above, and in all my build scripts I just do:

make OS_TARGET=foo CPU_TARGET=bar OPT="-other -args $FIXMOJAVE" CROSSOPT=...

It's not the most convenient thing, but it works.
