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 /

5You, sir, saved my day. Do the headers and CommandLineTools get erased intentionally after updating to Mojave or is it a bug? I never had this issue before and I'm quite sure I didn't delete them. – Franco Roura Nov 14 '18 at 22:35

brew doctor
and then
brew link --overwrite php
helped me.

using home-brew is okay if you are using hombrew, otherwise use the system via xcode-select --install (@steven's answer). Personally, I am not a fan of hb. – Konchog Mar 10 '20 at 10:50

1`brew link --force --overwrite php72` works. Replace `72` with whichever version of PHP you would like to use. – Asbjørn Ulsberg Apr 02 '20 at 22:28

Headers aren't installed for Mojave.
To install the headers:
open /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg
I was having the same issue and this fixed it for me.

This worked, but I had to disable SIP first. Then install the headers, run PECL to install what I wanted and as the last step enable SIP again. – MrMacvos Mar 20 '20 at 15:55
