Problem solved. On Yosemite 10.10.2, I have mac ports installed. The suggestions about alternative toolchains proved correct.
Here's what I did: - Renamed my /opt to /_opt to remove it from any possible path, so that locally installed toolchain components cannot be used. - set PATH to PATH=/bin:/usr/bin - checked xcode command line tools at latest version Sage 6.5 compiles and runs with no major issues.
