Those issues are not due to gcc 4.2, but to odd things happening with
certain packages when you have an older gmp installed in /usr/lib. In
that case the tests in the mpfi package fail with a link error:
../src/libmpfi.a(mpfi_io.o): In function `mpfi_inp_str':
mpfi_io.c:(.text+0x821): undefined reference to
`__gmp_get_memory_functions'
mpfi_io.c:(.text+0x8d4): undefined reference to
`__gmp_get_memory_functions'
mpfi_io.c:(.text+0x93b): undefined reference to
`__gmp_get_memory_functions'
Because the tests just link against a gmp, i.e. "-lgmp" without
specifying a path. Since SAGE compiles against 4.2.1 (with patches)
the linker fails against for example 4.1.4.
I did build 2.8 and all tests pass on Linux x86-64 with gcc 4.2.0.
Cheers,
