It occurred to me that I have a very large number of applications open while working with XCode. Perhaps I was coming up against some limit associated with that, though this Mac has lots of memory as well as disk space. So I quit all the other applications and tried again: the project now compiles without error.

FWIW, it can have buckets of memory and disk space but still run into limits, such as the max number of file-descriptors system-wide. There are also limits on the number of processes per user-id, and limits on fd's per-process.


See 'man sysctl', 'man setrlimit', and try this shell cmd:
  sysctl kern | grep max

Also see 'man lsof', and consider the significance of:
  lsof | wc -l
