Its not just PPL, other libraries break system-wide stuff too. Its just
more noticeable since borked gcc = immediate end of game. Really, the
problem is setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the first place. Any messing
around with ppl to minimize the chance of breakage is just putting
lipstick on a pig.
At the very least, it should issue an appropriate error message.
And the only other spkg that frequently causes trouble (although
recently much less than it used to) is readline, which IMHO would better
be a prerequisite anyway (or at least the system-wide version should get
used if present and recent enough).

The PPL spkg should really make sure it doesn't break (the system-wide)

symlinks to the system-wide PPL libs; not sure whether the headers
would
be compatible, i.e., if Sage's could be used in case ppl-devel isn't
installed).
