The command works fine here with Numpy HEAD and Python 2.7.
Btw, why do you specify --fcompiler=gnu95 for numpy? Numpy
has no Fortran sources. So, fortran compiler is not needed
for building Numpy (unless you use Fortran libraries
for numpy.linalg).

Reading the code, I don't see how this can happen. Very strange.
Anyway, I cleaned up build_clib to follow similar coding convention
as in build_ext. Could you try numpy head again?
