The -isysroot option should come from Qt, gathered by configure from the
qmake output. Probably Qt5 was build with 10.11 sdk. I'm not sure. However
independently of what is your running OS I was meaning that the headers of
Big Sur should have changed, because there is no such problems with SDKs from
previous systems (e.g. Catilina).

To investigate the issue you can use a very simple Qt application and try to
build it with qmake to see which headers are used. As I said, the error
messages you get seems to come from changes in the headers which cause symbol
clashes in TeXmacs. We had this kind of issues before due to the fact that
various libraries might have incompatible #define
