Comment (by jdemeyer):
Replying to [comment:18 leif]:
> "Installing [with the distro's package manager]" (usually) doesn't mean
building/compiling something, which is the point of bdists.
>
> The Sage binary for Foonux 17.12 shouldn't contain any ''part of that''
distro, because that'd just be redundant (not to mention potentially
bypassing security updates etc.).
>
> But my main point was that ''using Sage's GCC'' for building bdists in
general is not the same as shipping ''the distro's'' libraries -- the
former may cause further (or different) trouble. So if you think we
should ship libgfortran, just copy the system's one into
`$SAGE_LOCAL/lib`; no need to install Sage's GCC just for that reason,
whose libgfortran might (or typically will) be even older than the
system's.
This discussion should really be moved to `sage-release` instead of this
ticket.
