Comment(by malb):
I thought about this patch-all-Makefiles approach some more. I came to the
conclusion that it would be a bad idea. Jaap's GCC or the Singular's
configuration script is broken. GCC accepts {{{-pg}}} and that GCC what is
called. That it fails hints at either a bug in the OpenSolaris GCC or at a
problem choosing the right assembler or linker.
Patching all Makefiles would have serious repercussions: this patch would
never be accepted upstream and thus we would have to go through a very
tedious and error-prone process of patching every Makefile with every SPKG
update. Since I am right now the only person who does these updates at the
moment, I think I refuse to increase my workload like this based on one
faulty setup.
Note that I am happy to investigate and push upstream any fix which
triggers this error in the configuration script. I want Sage to build and
work on OpenSolaris and Solaris. It's just this approach which I deem
incorrect.
