Hi,

I have been trying to build the release candidate on the development mac 
machine at EPFL, using homebrew for dependencies. 

My configure options are as follows:

---------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
version=4.2rc1-clang-703.0.31-gfortran-6

The build fails with the following error:

---------------------------------------------------------------

This is my first attempt at building with clang since a very long time so I'd 
appreciate 
comments from those who are more used to it.

The suitesparse installation and detection look ok to me, I can provide the 
config.log output if you like,
or you can also access the same machine and try the build yourself if needed.
