dtrace-262 compile: could not find included file 'common.xcconfig' in search paths
I can not get past compiling and installing dtrace, executing the line xcodebuild install -target ctfconvert -target ctfdump -target ctfmerge ARCHS="x86_64" SRCROOT="${PWD}" OBJROOT="${PWD}/obj" SYMROOT="${PWD}/sym" DSTROOT="${PWD}/dst" yields the above error.

The .xconfig files in config dir include that file, where is it supposed to be located at ? thanks.

Info:
MacOs 10.14 (Mojave)
Xcode 10
