Comment (by kcrisman):
Nice! Though I misled you by the wiki formatting. I don't know the
status of these, and at least some definitely aren't documented.
> * Add {{{PARI_EXTRA_OPTS}}}, which is passed to PARI's {{{Configure}}}
when building Sage / installing the PARI spkg.
Needed?
> * Add {{{CPPFLAGS}}}, {{{LDFLAGS}}}, {{{CXXFLAG64}}}?, {{{LDFLAG64}}}?
{{{LD}}}?
Needed?
> * Document that (e.g.) {{{export CFLAGS=""}}} has not the same effect
as {{{unset CFLAGS}}}.
Needed?
> * Add note on not putting a space between {{{-j}}} and {{{NUM}}} in the
description of {{{MAKE}}}, because doing so has a "completely" different
meaning...
Needed?
> * Add a note on / reference to {{{sage-env}}}.
Needed?
> Also, the description of some variables is incomplete, not current (in
its use in all spkgs, e.g. {{{SAGE_DEBUG}}}), misleading, or even wrong
({{{SAGE_TIMEOUT*}}}).
Needed?
> I think the various variations of {{{SAGE_T[E]MP[[_]DIR]}}} are missing.
(I wonder where e.g. {{{TMP}}} and {{{TMPDIR}}} are / may be used instead,
or as a fall-back / default.)
Needed?
> {{{SHELL}}} might be relevant, too.
Needed?
> The {{{*ITER*}}} variables for (parallel) doctesting are missing.
Needed?
