Comment (by NicosPavlov):

 As said above, the absence of pyqt4 is not the issue here. It is an
 optional package that is not strictly required to build Kate. Then, it
 seems that Kate is linking to python opportunistically as it is not part
 of the declared dependencies, which is an issue in itself. I'll have to
 add a variant to declare python.

 It is also not really clear to me why the iconutil command fails. I can't
 reproduce the error on my system (10.14), so I don't know if it is a
 Catalina issue or if something else is going on.
