Replying to [comment:18 vbraun]:
> I'm aware of that. The binary-pkg script does not patch the gp binary
because it has some unclear text/binary end-of-string markers. It also
prints a warning while packing. Sage doesn't need the gp binary, though.
If we have to we could deprecate `sage -gp` (but that would be a shame).
However, removing `sage.interfaces.gp` is not an option. Currently,
`modular.buzzard`, `lfunctions.dokchitser`,
schemes.elliptic_curves.gp_simon` depend on it. The scenarios there create
a separate instance of a `gp` interpreter (for good reason!), so I don't
think we'll be rewriting those very soon to work with the pari library
directly.
So, in order to ensure the current binary packaging strategy is viable, I
think we need to clarify the unclear text/binary end-of-string markers in
the gp executable.
