Here is the part of output where the error happens. Please help!

==> make all HOMEBREW_PREFIX=/usr/local RELEASE=1
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make -C simavr RELEASE=1
fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything.
../Makefile.common:56: *** Please install avr-gcc: port install avr-gcc avr-libc.  Stop.
make: *** [build-simavr] Error 2

Seems like you incorrectly pulled the repository. That "no names found" error is from the git describe command. Try to use git clone to get the simavr repository instead.

Also you need to install avr-gcc.
