Using the right sources I can build Qt 4.8.7 on a Mac with OS X 10.10.5 and Xcode 7.1. But the build still fails on OS X 10.11.1 and Xcode 7.1.

Just to provide another solution using Homebrew.
As you've found QT4 isn't compatible with Mac OSX Sierra.
You can install QT5 using:
But you'll find you can't access qmake from the command line. To rectify this you'll need to run:

If you want to run qmake from command line, add the directory where qmake is located to PATH environment variable. How to do it depends on the shell you are using, for bash it is done by adding export PATH=$PATH:<path_to_qmake> to either ~/.profile, ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc.
