Comment(by fbissey):

 Well thanks Karl! Your testing was very useful. Since I have contributed
 to bits and pieces
 I think I should had myself as an author. But most of the heavy lifting as
 been done by maldun.

 So what's left is the question of whether we go for numpy-1.4.1 and leave
 minor archs unsupported
 for a little bit. Or we wait for 1.5.1, which works on the minor archs in
 question and will play
 well with cython.

 As an aside I have already pushed the upgrade in sage-on-gentoo (to avoid
 tree rote, we already
 have to keep two old packages that are otherwise removed from Gentoo) and
 we want to avoid that
 kind of stuff as much as possible. So the current code is out there and
 used by a few people.

 After that there are question of details. In spkg-install I have set FC to
 ${SAGE_LOCAL}/bin/sage_fortran, with the idea that it was basically
 calling "gfortran -fpic" or the g95 equivalent. We have been talking about
 that very subject on sage-devel recently. Is it the best way to go? If one
 uses sunstudio (and I am planning to give a go) the correct flag would be
 -Kpic but would it be set up properly in sage_fortran? I doubt it.

 So what would be the best course of action? Using the variable
 SAGE_FORTRAN for now and ask it
 to be set with the proper pic flag and hopefully drop it later on when FC
 is the mainstay?
