Why would a non-Sage-developer want to run all doctests?
Because she is trying to help out? Just checking things work on an
obscure platform? Wants to make sure their copy isn't corrupted somehow?
I guess a better argument is your first one, that a number of tests
already fail without gcc, so we should be consistent (which way, I'm
agnostic on).
