SAGE64=yes:

I did this because Georg S. Weber suggested it (on this thread).
Where is the SAGE64 environment variable documented? In local/bin/sage-env it 
says:

echo "SAGE64      Set to \"yes\" to build a 64-bit binary (Solaris SPARC or 
Solaris x86 only)"

and does not mention OSX.

SAGE_CHECK=yes:

I did this because it is mentioned in point 3 of README.txt:

   If you want to run the test suite for each individual spkg as it is
   installed, type

       export SAGE_CHECK="yes"

   before starting the Sage build. This will run each test suite and
   will raise an error if any failures occur.

Should there be a trac ticket to update README.txt to say:
----
Don't set SAGE_CHECK unless you know what you are doing.
----
See 
http://groups.google.com/group/sage-
devel/browse_thread/thread/c27cbd64eb0e2534

Ticket #6282 asked for SAGE_CHECK to be documented and gave the existing 
wording in README.txt
Ticket #8806 asked for README.txt to be  updated, but did not mention 
SAGE_CHECK.
Ticket #8106 asked for the documentation of SAGE_CHECK in README.txt to be 
changed along the lines above, but I can't find any relevant changes in 
http://hg.sagemath.org
Should I be able to find changes to README.txt somewhere in there?

Bottom line:
I am now doing this in my sage-4.4.1 directory (using the fixed libreadline 
and symmetrica spkg files instead of the downloaded ones)

unset SAGE_CHECK
unset SAGE64
make clean
make

We shall see what happens.
Best, Paul
