XCode command line tools 12

[J. Landman Gay]

Thanks, but I wasn't clear enough. I didn't mention that I want to run the 
12.x command line tools in Mojave itself, rather than setting up a VM with 
Big Sur. I do keep multiple versions of Xcode but those are all older.

I get the feeling from your response that 12.x tools will refuse to install 
on Mojave, even when downloaded manually. So I guess that answers that.
