Comment(by fbissey):

 I noticed that you have mpfr in the dep for lcalc and that you include
 mpfr in the library list in module_list.py for the lcalc extension as
 well.
 lcalc doesn't currently depend on mpfr or link against it.
 I checked the current spkg and the latest version included in this bug
 and neither does. In spkg-install you have
 {{{
 if [ "$UNAME" = "SunOS" ]; then
     LCALC_LIBS="-lpari -lmpfr -lgmpxx -lgmp -liberty"
 else
     LCALC_LIBS="-lpari -lmpfr -lgmpxx -lgmp"
 fi
 export LCALC_LIBS
 echo "Using LCALC_LIBS=$LCALC_LIBS"
 }}}
 But LCALC_LIBS is not used anywhere in either the original Makefile
 or the Makefile provided by sage.
 I think it is a remnant from a time where Dave (Kirby) had an extremely
 simplified Makefile for lcalc and even then it was a case of overlinking.
 If you want to use mpfr in lcalc you need to export
 {{{
 PREPROCESSOR_DEFINE=-DUSE_MPFR
 }}}
 and on my machine at least lcalc refuse to compile with this.
