When building openblas using spack it concretizes to
- openblas@develop~bignuma~consistent_fpcsr+dynamic_dispatch+fortran~ilp64+locking+pic+shared~static build_system=makefile dev_path=/Users/pagessin/dev/openblas-dev/openblas symbol_suffix=none threads=none platform=darwin os=tahoe target=m3 %c,cxx=apple-clang@21.0.0 %fortran=gcc@15.1.0

which essentially means that it'll use clang for C and C++ and gfortran for fortran.
The test build then ultimately fails with:
ld: warning: ignoring duplicate libraries: '-lSystem', '-lemutls_w', '-lgfortran', '-lheapt_w', '-lquadmath'
No receipt for 'com.apple.pkg.Xcode' found at '/'.

which I understand to mean that clang is not able to resolve the gfortran library. Full build log is here:
