Right. Something's fishy with libffi.

Before you try Xcode 10.3, can you add:
USE_TOOLS+=	pkg-config
to lang/python38/Makefile and re-build?
It might fail on "Checking for work-directory references", but that's okay.

Also, please check if this file exists:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.15.sdk/usr/include/ffi/ffi.h
