I just compiled the current 3.5.0+ without any change from the
previous successful compile of 3.3.54+. It runs correctly as far
as I have tested (make check, plots and print test.pdf).
This suggests that your simple description of how to build from
source on Mac OSX should be sufficient: Xcode is needed, of
course,
then just download and compile what is needed from gnu.org and
/www.cise.ufl.edu/research/sparse/SuiteSparse/.
IMO it should be noted that, looking at your config.log summary, your build was a 32-bit one. Newer machines (that boot with 64-bit kernel) default to 64-bit builds, which will fail due to Apple veclib bug. To fix that ATLAS needs to be installed, and used as the BLAS library instead of veclib.
