IT could very well be that this command is intended to generate the sage.g file. We are still investigating what goes wrong for you. -p seem to strip some formatting from gap it looks weird with it but it does have an effect even if it is undocumented. Do you have any "locale" set on your machine? Have tried to build sage the normal way - ie as recommended by the sage dev and if so, was it successful? Cheers, Francois
