This check should not have failed for you. Please provide config.log.
Additionally, try compiling the following program and provide the output
(which will likely also be found in config.log):

| #include <Foundation/Foundation.h>
| 
| NSString *string = [[NSString alloc] initWithCString: "Hello World"];
| [NSString length];

Note that you'll have to pass -framework Foundation for this to sample
to link.

Considering the output I get on 10.11 I'm starting to think I can
predict what the problem will be. For reference, here's 10.11:
