New description:

 PARI version 2.4.4 (see #11130, now aiming at 2.5.0) no longer has an
 `allocatemoremem()` function, which `lcalc` uses.  There is a function
 `allocatemem()` which can be used instead.

 New spkg:
 [http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/jdemeyer/spkg/lcalc-1.23.p7.spkg]
 (this will only build after installing the PARI spkg from #11130).

Comment(by leif):

 The patch to the Makefile still uses `-lmpir` instead of `-lgmp`. (We
 always build MPIR with GMP compatibility, as all other packages refer to
 GMP rather than MPIR.) And the receipt for `all` is still funny, but
 that's upstream...

 I'd quote `$patch` to be on the safe side. Also, the patches are / have to
 be applied with `-p1` (from `lcalc-*/src/`) rather than `-p0`, which I
 don't mind, but Jeroen wanted to unify this across spkgs IIRC.
