No Xcode 8 CLT for El Capitan

[Adam Dershowitz]

That comment does not make it at all clear what those of us who updated to Xcode 8 (but not beta!) but are still on OS X 10.11 are supposed to do. 
I have posted a ticket about building cmake that seems to be because it is trying to use 10.12 SDK, but it is not clear how to work around that.
Perhaps the answer is to downgrade to Xcode 7, and stay away from 8?  (It is a big download!)
Or, it might be that just the 10.11 command line tools is enough?
