Status on Sage is that these fail:
sage -t "devel/sage/sage/libs/ntl/ntl_ZZ_pX.pyx"
sage -t "devel/sage/sage/rings/integer.pyx"
sage -t "devel/sage/sage/plot/plot.py"
sage -t "devel/sage/sage/interfaces/maxima.py"
The last two seem to be because of fragile doctests. The first two are
because of changed Cython semantics:
OverflowError: can't convert negative value to unsigned int
In the cases it is about going from "long" via "object" to "unsigned
long" (with, confirmed, a negative integer), so I'd say the mistake is
in Sage here.
Question is again whether this is too much semantics change for a minor
release, but I'm +1.
