> 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.
We did not, but I have just created one (#11216). I've listed all the gcc
4.6.0 issues, including the resolved ones, so we have a record. To my
knowledge there were 4 issues, 3 of which have been resolved with one
(Singular) outstanding. But there may be others I'm unaware of, so others
should edit the description if I missed any.
The ticket I created does mention both the Wiki and the Installation Guide
will need updating when these issues are resolved.
> Regarding the actual patch here, the description says something about
GNU tar vs. BSD tar, but the patch discusses GNU make vs. BSD make.
I was sitting in bed thinking the exact same thing. I was aware I'd put
the wrong information in the patch. Still, the point about needing GNU
Make on Solaris is true so I just need to add the information about 'tar'
> I also have a program installed called "bsdmake". When I tried building
Sage with {{{export MAKE="bsdmake -j2"}}}, I got an error building

> I think it's probably true you need GNU make too,
Yes, it probably is true you need GNU make, though I think Solaris and
!OpenSolaris are the only systems where that version of 'make' is not the
default.
I will apply a patch to correct the 'tar' issue. As such, I'm marking this
as "needs work" for now.
