I note that gfan hard-codes the compiler names gcc/g++. Trying to fix that, I soon discovered the Sun compiler thinks there is an error in the code, with something supposed to return a value, but not doing so.

However, I did not from http://www.math.tu-berlin.de/~jensen/software/gfan/gfan.html that the version in Sage was released in 2007 and that there was a new release less than 3 months ago. It would be good if this could be updated, so that is respects the values of CC, CXX, CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS. Then it would have some hope of building with Sun's compiler. If not, any problems can be reported upstream. But I'm not overkeen to report bugs about a version more than 2 years old.
