New description:

 $HOME can be slow in case it is NFS mounted for example. So using local
 scratch space or even better a RAM disk should speed up the build by a
 nice factor. To do so, use $SAGE_BUILD_TMPDIR in case it exists instead of
 $SAGE_ROOT/spkg/build.

Comment:

 I applied the patch [attachment:trac_4949-scripts.patch], then moved
 the modified sage-spkg file to a fresh source directory of sage-4.7.rc4.
 I set SAGE_BUILD_TMPDIR and SAGE_KEEP_BUILT_SPKGS, and
 did 'make testlong'.  The builds took place in the location
 SAGE_BUILD_TMPDIR and all tests passed.  I applied the patch [attachment:
 trac_4949-installation.patch], did 'sage -b', then 'sage -docbuild
 installation html' and verified that the documentation change was made and
 makes sense.  Positive review.
