Built and passed long tests on a 64-bit Arch Linux machine using a
pre-installed ATLAS (version 3.10.0). (As has been the case for a
while, the ATLAS bundled with Sage does not build on this machine.)

builds and passes all longtests on the host known to buildbot/pathcbot
as arando (32-bit Ubuntu), and on x86_64 Debian.

Builds and passes all longtests on OS X 10.8.2, using 

http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/pdehaye/spkg/rpy2-2.0.8.p1.spkg

http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/pdehaye/spkg/sympy-0.7.1.p1.spkg

http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/palmieri/SPKG/scipy-0.11.0.spkg

and patching doctests with

http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/attachment/ticket/13541/trac_13541-doctest.patch

Only problem to report is that I was asked for 3 or 4 times

To open "gs", you need to install X11. 

Would you like to install X11 now?

Just clicking yes did the trick. 

(Note that Xquartz is already installed on my machine, and it didn't seem to install anything each time I said yes)

This probably comes from the command-line program "gs": it is probably a link pointing to /usr/local/bin/gs-X11, whereas perhaps it should be a link pointing to /usr/local/bin/gs-noX11. I think that reinstalling (or updating?) TeX Live or MacTeX should fix it. In my experience, just fixing the link manually also works.
