I realised that I can disable PG_SYSROOT by providing a non-existing dir name,
so I've done some testing to try to reproduce your original issue.

I've tested building the PG 11.0 tarball on the following systems:

macOS 10.13 with Xcode 9.4.1
macOS 10.13 with Xcode 10.0
macOS 10.14 with Xcode 10.0

On macOS 10.13 the following worked fine both for Xcode 9 and 10:
PG_SYSROOT=no-sysroot ./configure --with-tcl

On macOS 10.14 the above failed because it didn't find tclConfig.sh.
The following did work:
PG_SYSROOT=no-sysroot ./configure --with-tcl --with-tclconfig=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework

So it seems that providing -isysroot is not actually necessary for building --with-tcl.
clang finds the headers just fine.

Is it possible that you were using a different compiler that made the -isysroot setting necessary?

In any case, I'm pretty sure that your patch should fix my problem with building extensions.

For Postgres.app, since I'm building on macOS 10.12, I think I will just use the PG_SYSROOT=no-sysroot trick for now.
