What I've done on my Yosemite hosts, thanks to a hint from:

  https://twitter.com/MacHomebrew/status/644872113988481024

is install the Command Line Tools alongside Xcode, pkgsrc will then
pick up the /usr/include directories instead and you can continue to
use a native SDK.

There were issues with using 10.11 SDK on 10.10, but I'm not sure if I
fully remember what they were, pretty sure tcp_wrappers was on the
scene.

Pretty annoying that Apple has released this for the 10.10 channel
though.  I imagine we'll have a few complaints about it.  The most
obvious one will be:

  ERROR: libtool-base-2.4.2nb10 requires a working dlopen().

due to missing dlfcn.h builtin checks.
