Summary: texlive-bin fails to build on High Sierra → texlive-bin @2017: error: nullability specifier '_Nullable' cannot be applied to non-pointer type 'uuid_t' (aka 'unsigned char [16]')

Your log shows an error in the system headers: 

:info:build In file included from xetexdir/XeTeXFontMgr_Mac.mm:44:
:info:build In file included from /System/Library/Frameworks/Cocoa.framework/Headers/Cocoa.h:12:
:info:build In file included from /System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Headers/Foundation.h:128:

:info:build - (instancetype)initWithUUIDBytes:(const uuid_t _Nullable)bytes;
:info:build                                                 ^
:info:build /System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Headers/NSUUID.h:29:30: error: nullability specifier '_Nonnull' cannot be applied to non-pointer type 'uuid_t' (aka 'unsigned char [16]')
:info:build - (void)getUUIDBytes:(uuid_t _Nonnull)uuid;
:info:build                              ^

One possibility is that your compiler is too old to understand the new system headers. What version of Xcode and the command line tools do you have installed? For High Sierra, you'll need at least Xcode 9.

Another possibility is that the system headers have a bug. If you still see this problem with Xcode 9, ​report it to Apple.

I forgot to upgrade to Xcode 9. With Xcode 9 installed, the issue disappears. Thank you very much!
