Comment(by drkirkby):
linbox appears to have several errors.
* #7058
* -m64 (a GNUism in itself) hard coded on only OS X, so it will not
build 64-bit with Solaris.
* The issues you mention here.
* The fact -fPIC is a GNU specific flag.
I'm a bit reluctant to go around editing any more spkg-install files,
until we have in place a better system for dealing with the 64-bit issues
which is not dependent on a particular platform or compiler. This spkg-
install makes the assumption the only compiler is gcc (not true) and the
only operating system on which one might want to force a 64-bit build is
OS X (again not true). It was rather short-sighted the way this SAGE64
issue was handled.
Once there is a way of handling this better, I'll revise this. #7505 is
needing review and will allow the compiler to be determined. Later I will
add an updated version of sage-env, which will set the flags globally. But
it needs #7505 to be integrated first.
