> What is the correct way to force-disable parallel make, then?
As long as we rely on a GNU `make`, the correct thing to do is
{{{
#!sh
MAKE="$MAKE -j1" # force sequential build (1 job)
}}}
Otherwise we'd have to test if the actual `$MAKE` understands that.
> Apart from that, do you have any other issue than the unquoted
`SAGE_LOCAL` (which this ticked did not add) for the maxima spkg? I'm
happy to fix "minor things", but at the very least you have to list them
if you want them fixed.
:) I don't recall. A major clean-up could be done, but I won't insist on
having it here.

patching ecl's `configure` and maintaining that patch in future versions.
If you want to save space then there are much bigger spkgs that could be
shrunk.
Yes, but they accumulate. I'm not sure if upstream would make such a
patch.
Btw, it's more than 2 MB of the spkg, 13 MB uncompressed.
"Maintaining" a real patch is trivial. It will still apply or not, in
which case an error message is given. The patch itself is also trivial.
