I tried to replicate this on my own laptop (macOS 10.14.4 ... I do not
think there is or ever will be a 10.14.14).  I can't, because the
kerberos test fails immediately:

1..4
# setting up Kerberos
# Running: krb5-config --version
# Running: kdb5_util create -s -P secret0
Can't exec "kdb5_util": No such file or directory at /Users/tgl/pgsql/src/=
test/kerberos/../../../src/test/perl/TestLib.pm line 190.
Bail out!  system kdb5_util failed

and indeed, there's no kdb5_util in /usr/bin/ or anywhere else that
I can find.  So I speculate that Peter is running some weird hodgepodge
of Apple and Homebrew code, making the question not so much "why does
it fail" as "how did it ever work".

I also notice that the build spews out a bunch of deprecation warnings,
because just as with openSSL, Apple has stuck deprecation attributes
on everything in gssapi/gssapi.h.  They want you to use their GSS
"framework" instead.

So I'm not convinced we should spend a lot of effort on fooling with
the test scripts for this.  This platform has got much more fundamental
problems than that.
