 {{{
 I'm suddenly very concerned that Sage binaries won't work at all on
 computers without libgfortran.so installed. Does Sage even start up on
 such a box?

 Yep.  If I take one of the Sage build machines, remove libgfortran, then
 start Sage I get:

 $ sage
 BOOM!

 .... ImportError: libgfortran.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No
 such file or directory

 ----------------

 Not good, since most Linux installs won't have libgfortran.  If I then
 reinstall gfortran, and copy libgfortran.so  to SAGE_ROOT/local/lib/, then
 uninstall gfortran, then Sage works fine again.

 cp /usr/lib/libgfortran.so.3.0.0 local/lib/libgfortran.so.3

 wst...@ubuntu910-64:/tmp/wstein/farm/sage-4.3.1$ ./sage
