Comment (by Veence):

 Happy it worked with this kludge.

 @Ryan: yeah, that sounds like it. While I agree security is important, I
 think Apple had gone a bit overboard lately, and the extra protection
 measures wrapped around the newest MacOS versions are more a hassle than a
 benefit. To be honest, that’s one of the reasons I didn't upgrade to 10.15
 (besides it lacking any fundamental new functionality I might desire or
 need). I also have disabled CSR on my system: while I don’t recommend it
 to the layman, at least I’m free to wipe out some files or default
 Applications I don’t want (e.g.: Stocks) and I can install Dtrace probes
 about anywhere to monitor what's going on (as well as writing kexts). The
 default MacOS config really cripples the control users have on their
 machines.

 Maybe disabling CSR would solve this problem. If your hypothesis is
 correct, Ryan, and MacOS begins to diverge from widely accepted UNIX
 conventions because of foisted restrictive "security" features on its
 users, then we shouldn't wonder seeing more and more mainstream Open
 Source developers drifting away from Apple.
