The symmerica package says in SPKG.txt
{{{
== Special Update/Build Instructions ==
Against common policy the patches in the patches directory have been
applied to
the src directory:
* de.patch (Turn off banner)
* macro.h.patch (Change some return types, this can be avoided)
* makefile.patch (Fix compiler, inject CFLAGS)
* sort_sum_rename.patch (rename sort tp sym_sort, sum to sym_sum)
}}}
It would appear various patches have been made to the source code.
http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/kirkby/portability/symmetrica-2.0.p5/
has an updated version of symmetica, which will build with any compiler,
and in 64-bit mode. However, it does not resolve the issue of patching the
source directly. I modified the makefile, which had already been modified
before. A patch was left, so I have tried to recreate the original
makefile. But other files have been changed too. The packages is basically
a bit of a mess
