This basically doesn't work if you compile your own dependencies; You have 
to "make install" you dependencies before you can use them in later stages 
of "make".

It can work for sage-the-library only, and we should aim for that 
eventually. 

For sage-the-distribution not so much. There is a long list of desirable 
things that our current build system can't do: No reliable incremental 
builds, no modular binary packages, ... One possibility would be to use 
hashdist for our source builds and extend it to produce conda-compatible 
binary packages (as Aron proposed before) for private $HOME installs. And 
publish our own rpm/debs for system-wide installation, possibly using 
distro packages for dependencies when possible.
