Confirming a failure on 10.14.6/Xcode 11.3.1. Unclear if it's a macOS 
version issue or if a dependency changed

   CXX      watchman-bser.o
bser.cpp:345:17: error: offset of on non-standard-layout type 
'json_object_t' [-Werror,-Winvalid-offsetof]
   auto object = json_to_object(obj);
                 ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our watchman is pretty old, but even the immediate next release 
completely changes the build system and adds many dependencies that we 
don't have, some of which might be impossible(?).
