The log says:

:info:build Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
:info:build   "___sincos_stret", referenced from:
:info:build       _main in tclock.o
:info:build ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64

This is new to me. It builds fine for me on Mavericks.

Is it possible you have an old version of Xcode or its command line tools? A developer preview perhaps? Googling this error led me to this ​stack overflow post which says uninstalling and reinstalling Xcode and the command line tools fixes this problem.

I have Xcode 5 and the latest command line tools...

 xcodebuild -version
Xcode 5.0
Build version 5A1413
$ clang --version
Apple LLVM version 5.0 (clang-500.2.76) (based on LLVM 3.3svn)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.0.0
Thread model: posix

Ok, problem solved. IT was what you said: command line tools can no longer be updated via xcode, in Xcode 5.0. So you have to do it manually: downloading this ​https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action or via the apple software centre using xcode-select --install.
Thank you for the help.

(Also note that you need Xcode 5.0.1 on Mavericks.)
