Although you shouldn't have to, please try installing the OS X Command Line Tools for Xcode as described here:
http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/installation/source.html#mac-os-x-prerequisite-installation This error has appeared before <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sage-support/wj4ObDhv_xE> and installing these tools solved it. If that works for you, then please replay back so that I can start the process to fix the error again. Thanks! FYI I run SageMath all the time on El Capitan, but I have the Command Line Tools installed so that I can compile from source code.
