A minor nit: it appears that the script 'spkg/install' gets  
overwritten by the copy in the sage_scripts tarball during the  
'make'.  The difference between the two is

$ diff sage-1.5.alpha6/spkg/install sage_scripts-1.5.alpha6/install
184,187d183
< if [ "$MAKE" = "" ]; then
<     MAKE="make"
< fi
<

This seems minor.  During the first 'make', the only effect is that  
the last 'if/fi' pair in the "install" script get mis-read somehow,  
resulting in syntax errors and an attempt to execute what should be a  
quoted "echo".

If you rerun the make (e.g., after correcting a problem with the  
"gd-2.0" build :-}), the only thing that happens is an attempt to run  
"-f" as a command (as if MAKE were executed while $MAKE is undefined).

The fix is to update the script in the sage_scripts tarball.
