Description of issue

When I try to uninstall a cask with the active developer directory pointing to Xcode, I get these series of errors (shortened because the full length is unbelievably long):

$ brew uninstall --force --zap eqmac
==> Implied `brew uninstall --cask eqmac`
==> Removing files:

Then I tried to switch to my command-line tools active developer directory, which gave me these separate errors (also shortened):

brew uninstall --force --zap eqmac
==> Implied `brew uninstall --cask eqmac`

/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL/eqMac.driver/

/usr/local/include/xcode/dispatch/dispatch.h: No such file or directory

I've tried reinstalling the command-line tools, selecting the cli tools in Xcode, updating Xcode & homebrew but nothing seems to fix it.
