How to build OpenBLAS on OSX Mavericks

Question

I am attempting to build OpenBLAS (http://www.openblas.net/) on OSX Mavericks

Just typing 'make', it hits an error several minutes into the make process.

I've scoured the Internet for solutions, yielding a handful of commandline parameter suggestions such as:

make CC=clang
make MD5SUM='md5 -q'
make MD5SUM='md5 -q' CC=clang
make MD5SUM='md5 -q' CC=clang FC=/Users/pi/Downloads/usr/local/bin/gfortran DYNAMIC_ARCH=1
make MD5SUM='md5 -q' CC=clang FC=/Users/pi/Downloads/usr/local/bin/gfortran DYNAMIC_ARCH=1 USE_THREAD=1 NO_SHARED=1

None of which work.

Is anybody able to get this library to build without errors?

Here is the error for the last attempt in the list above:
