Comment(by leif):

 Replying to [comment:8 jdemeyer]:
 > I can imagine that this bug-fix will make the ecm package work, but I
 believe that the deeper issue in Sage still needs to be addressed: namely
 that {{{spkg-install}}} (both for mpir and for ecm) is providing CFLAGS
 when it should leave that to the packages themselves.

 I consider such ''upstream'' issues, i.e., upstream should IMHO
 '''"modify"''' `CFLAGS` et al. if appropriate or necessary, rather than
 either ignoring them or (solely) using user-specified settings "as is".

 (Try e.g. {{{env CFLAGS="" ./sage -ba-force && ./sage -c "quit"}}}...
 which ''breaks'' the Cython-generated C code, or at least used to do so.)

 [[BR]]

 > For example, on sage.math.washington.edu, the upstream mpir package uses
 the flags {{{-O2 -m64 -march=core2 -mtune=core2}}} (i.e.: optimized for
 the particular machine) while within Sage, the flags {{{-g -O3}}} are
 used.

 Just for the record: `-march=hobel` implies `-mtune=hobel` (and
 `-mcpu=hobel`).
