 I noticed a problem when building 'sage-4.1.alpha2.spkg'. It complains
 {{{
 ld: fatal: library -lflint: not found
 }}}

 But the flint package indicates it was installed. However, when I tried to
 build flint again, I see this error message:

 {{{
 Deleting old FLINT
 Installing new library file
 cp: illegal option -- a
 Usage: cp [-f] [-i] [-p] [...@] f1 f2
         cp [-f] [-i] [-p] [...@] f1 ... fn d1
         cp -r|-R [-H|-L|-P] [-f] [-i] [-p] [...@] d1 ... dn-1 dn
 }}}

 It's clear flint is making use of some GNU-specific option to 'cp' The
 fact the copy fails means of course the library does not get installed.

 I'll post a fix later - it should be trivial
