Changes (by drkirkby):

 * cc: jhpalmieri (added)


Comment:

 Note, since the old Makefile was not under revision control, the patches
 look a '''LOT''' bigger than they actually are. If we compare the old
 Makefile and the new Makefile, the change is only that two characters "./"
 are added in front of the executable {{{testcases}}}.

 {{{

 }}}

 So when reviewing this, be aware most of the changes that are seen in the
 attached patch are simply a result of the old files not being under
 revision control, and the {{{patch}}} directory was in the {{{.hgignore}}}
 file.

 With the change in the compiler options, there are no text relocations
 which were seen on #9833. Now, using {{{elfdump}}}, no such problems are
 observed.

 {{{
 drkir...@hawk:~/sage-4.5.3$ elfdump -d local/lib/libcliquer.so | grep
 TEXTREL
 drkir...@hawk:~/sage-4.5.3$
 }}}

 This means the library will be more reliable - see #9833 for a discussion
 of why we need to avoid this.
