I wrote a Gentoo ebuild for Sage and that is what I was using to compile and install. Even though Gentoo ebuilds are bash scripts the build occurs in a 'sandbox,' and though I have written several ebuilds and used Gentoo for at least the past 3 years, I am not actually sure of the environment used in the sandbox. I really hadn't thought about it but I suspect it is bash because ebuilds are bash scripts and it would reduce dependencies.
As a regular user with tcsh, the compile process works fine (just type 'make'). As a regular user with bash (though I just started a bash sub-shell under tcsh), the compile process works fine. As the root user with bash the compile process works fine. So, it might be something within the gentoo build sandbox. Regardless, I was able to force a configure with the correct ABI environment setting based on the output of 'uname.' Thanks for your help.
