Build failing on macOS 10.14.5, Xcode 10.2.1

I'm having trouble with local build of Swift for the last week or so... I started getting crashes during compilations, so I tried clean builds to no avail. It now dies building swift (llvm builds fine) with error: Swift does not support the SDK 'MacOSX10.14.sdk'

Did the master start to require Xcode 11, Catalina Beta or is this some other issue?

Edit: I'm building with following parameters: ./swift/utils/build-script -R -T --no-assertions --darwin-deployment-version-osx 10.14

Yes, master requires Xcode 11 now. (You'd get a build failure in the Dispatch overlay anyway.)

Are these changes announced somewhere that I overlooked?

They happen every release. It's currently a non-goal for the compiler, standard library, and overlays to support anything but a very recent Xcode. From the README:

To build for macOS, you need Xcode 11 beta. The required version of Xcode changes frequently, and is often a beta release. Check this document or the host information on https://ci.swift.org for the current required version.

Thanks for the explanation!

But not Catalina, right? Any ideas on why the following may be happening with Xcode's latest beta (I did xcode-select the right thing)?
Swift does not support the SDK 'MacOSX10.14.sdk'

The SDK choice sticks across rebuilds unless you --reconfigure. If that doesn't work, blow away the CMakeCache.txt in your Swift build directory and try again. (Then file a Jira that it should work.)

Never mind, I was building incrementally and forgot to reconfigure, you're right. Thanks for the advice.
