Homebrew seems to require the installation of Command Line Tools for
Xcode.

  https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/blob/master/share/doc/homebrew/Installation.md

If you follow the above instructions, then /usr/include will be
created and the build of Emacs will succeed.

On Apple Mac running OS X 10.11:

Downloaded ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-25.0.90.tar.xz
Unpacked it.
Ran ./configure
Ran make
Compile stopped with:

  CC       xml.o
xml.c:23:10: fatal error: 'libxml/tree.h' file not found
#include <libxml/tree.h>
         ^
1 error generated.
make[1]: *** [xml.o] Error 1
make: *** [src] Error 2

On my system, that file is found in:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.11.sdk/usr/include/libxml2/libxml

This may be related to:

2015-12-31 YAMAMOTO Mitsuharu <mituharu <at> math.s.chiba-u.ac.jp>

* configure.ac: Find libxml2 headers in Xcode SDK dir on Darwin.

I ran:

$ xcrun --show-sdk-path
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.11.sdk

config.status has:

S["LIBXML2_LIBS"]="-lxml2 "
S["LIBXML2_CFLAGS"]="-I/usr/include/libxml2 "
