Comment(by SimonKing):

 It turns out that #11670 will not solve the problem. But it seems to me
 that I come closer to a solution: In contrast to many other cases, hom
 sets of number fields are ''not'' unique parents. With my patch, they are
 even less unique. Here is a show case:

 sage-4.6.2
 {{{
 sage: N = NumberField(x^12 - 4*x^11 + 6*x^10 - 5*x^9 + 5*x^8 - 9*x^7 +
 21*x^6 - 9*x^5 + 5*x^4 - 5*x^3 + 6*x^2 - 4*x + 1, 'a')
 sage: Hom(N,N) is Hom(N,N)
 False
 sage: Hom(N,N) == Hom(N,N)
 True
 }}}

 With my patch, we still have
 {{{
 sage: N = NumberField(x^12 - 4*x^11 + 6*x^10 - 5*x^9 + 5*x^8 - 9*x^7 +
 21*x^6 - 9*x^5 + 5*x^4 - 5*x^3 + 6*x^2 - 4*x + 1, 'a')
 sage: Hom(N,N) is Hom(N,N)
 False
 }}}
 but then
 {{{
 sage: Hom(N,N) == Hom(N,N)
 False
 }}}

 I don't know yet why this is the case, because the `__cmp__` function of
 number field homsets did not change.
