New description:
During Sage installation, I sometimes see an spkg fail to build, for
example [http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/13947 zn_poly]. Then I
run
{{{
$ ./sage -i spkg/standard/zn_poly-0.9.p10.spkg
}}}
If this installs successfully, it still has a return code of 127 (on OS X,
at least), because the installation runs `sage-location` at the end, which
hasn't been installed yet. So perhaps `sage -i ...` should only run `sage-
location` if it already exists. This way something like
{{{
$ make || ./sage -i spkg/standard/zn_poly-0.9.p10.spkg && make ptestlong
}}}
might work the way I want, and building Sage would require less
babysitting.

Comment (by jhpalmieri):
Here's a new patch, using `if [ -x "$SAGE_LOCAL/bin/python" -a -x
"$SAGE_LOCAL/bin/sage-location" ]...`.
