I've received a similar report for the Mac port, and the situation was
a bit different.  Unlike the previous versions, the Command Line Tools
package for Xcode 10 no longer installs the header files into
/usr/include on macOS 10.14 (*).

*: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode_release_notes/xcode_10_release_notes

The culprit for the above case was the bogus libxml-2.0.pc file that
refers to nonexistent /usr/include.  Philipp, could you try

  $ pkg-config --cflags --libs "libxml-2.0 > 2.6.17

to see if it refers to /usr/include ?  If so, locate the erroneous
config file by the following command:

  $ pkg-config --variable pcfiledir "libxml-2.0 > 2.6.17"
