Comment:
Do we have a meta-ticket for gcc 4.6.0 issues? Once they're sorted out,
we need to make sure to fix the installation guide accordingly.
Regarding the actual patch here, the description says something about GNU
tar vs. BSD tar, but the patch discusses GNU make vs. BSD make. On my OS
X box, I have GNU make and BSD tar, so is the patch saying what it's
supposed to?
{{{
$ which make # (or "command -v make")
/usr/bin/make
$ make --version
GNU Make 3.81

}}}
and
{{{
$ which tar
/usr/bin/tar
$ tar --version
bsdtar 2.6.2 - libarchive 2.6.2
}}}
I also have a program installed called "bsdmake". When I tried building
Sage with {{{export MAKE="bsdmake -j2"}}}, I got an error building
boehm_gc:
{{{
