Comment(by drkirkby):
Are there any more changes needed for this to get a positive review, or is
it only further testing?
Longer term there are a few things I'd like to sort out in this package.
Currently it assumes if the compiler is not the Sun compiler, then it is
gcc, but that overlooks the possibility of other compilers such as those
from IBM and HP. There is now a small script that can determine what C
compiler is in use {{{$SAGE_LOCAL/bin/testcc.sh}}}. Longer term I'd like
to sort that out, but that's not important in the short or medium term.
I tested my previous version actually built on AIX, HP-UX, Linux,
!OpenSolaris, OS X and Solaris. I found all tests passed on !OpenSolaris.
Leif has found all tests pass for this version on Linux.
I just this minute started a build and test on !OpenSolaris, but I wont
know the result for a couple of hours, as it takes an hour to build and
test and I will not be in the house at that point - I leave in 35 minute
or so.
Given we now have the buildbot, I would have thought this a fairly low-
risk patch to put in sage-4.6.rc1, as any problems should be easily
spotted.
