Comment:

 The logs are incomplete (contain lines saying "Skipping completed"), but
 are enough to show that the error is:

 {{{
 :info:build make: *** No rule to make target
 `HD/Developer/usr/bin/../lib/clang/3.0/include/limits.h', needed by
 `miniperlmain.o'.  Stop.
 }}}

 This suggests that you have

  1. installed Xcode on a secondary hard drive volume, and
  2. the secondary hard drive volume's name contains a space

 Spaces in paths don't work well when compiling UNIX software. Either
 install Xcode on the startup volume, or rename the secondary hard drive
 volume so that it doesn't contain a space; you then probably need to
 reinstall Xcode.
