Pasting traceback from GitHub:

$ pip install -r requirements/compiled.txt -r requirements/prod.txt

clang: error: unknown argument: '-mno-fused-madd' [-Wunused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future]
clang: note: this will be a hard error (cannot be downgraded to a warning) in the future
error: command 'cc' failed with exit status 1

Seems like an error caused by the latest Xcode (5.1) update:
https://langui.sh/2014/03/10/wunused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future-is-a-harsh-mistress/

Temporary solution is running the following command before pip-installing requirements:
export ARCHFLAGS="-Wno-error=unused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future"
