Yes, it needs to be tested properly.

The build instructions for OS X Mavericks should also mention where to
obtain Xcode (Appstore) and the secret command to retrieve the command-line
utils after Xcode is installed:

$ /usr/bin/xcode-select --install

Probably it should also mention how to use alternative BLAS and LAPACK
versions (MKL and OpenBLAS), although all three are equally performant on
Mavericks (except Accelerate is not fork safe):
