In fact, you can set `--with-system-gcc=no`, and Sage will build
its own `gcc` (using the system `clang` to do so), and then use
that `gcc` and its `gfortran` to build most other packages.

Turns out I obtained my desired outcome by
- configuring with `--with-system-gcc=no`
- leaving out `--with-system-gfortran` entirely.

The ability to do that means the ticket I asked about opening
is not an absolute necessity, but should I still open it?
