New description:

 Currently, XCode 4 (namely, version 4.0.1) produces a Sage executable that
 crashes on startup. Here we patch prereqs to guard against it.
 Please see http://groups.google.com/group/sage-
 devel/browse_thread/thread/54e9c5216ad6451f for more details.

 This patch also takes care of #8566.

 The patch should be applied in SAGEROOT/spkg/base, using hg import
 In same directory, one should place
 http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/dima/patches/prereq-0.9.tar
 (and remove prereq-0.8.tar; prereq-0.9/ is an exact copy of prereq-0.8/,
 only
 renamed)

 PS. If you want to test this in existing Sage installation, you can start
 ../../sage -sh in SAGEROOT/spkg/base, untar prereq-0.9.tar, and start
 ./prereq-0.9-install
