title: node app fails to run on mojave: ReferenceError: internalBinding is not defined
body: <p>I've tried to unsuccessfully run a node app, which runs fine on both High Sierra and Windows 10, but fails on Mojave 10.14.1.
  This is the error shown when running the gulp build_dev task:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[23:44:42] Requiring external module babel-register
  fs.js:25

  <p>Any hint on how to debug this problem? Could be related to gcc compiler version?</p>
