New description:

 According to private conversation with Francois Bissey, #9976 has
 introduced a problem that makes it impossible start sage-4.7.1 on Gentoo.
 That's pretty serious, and so this ticket is a blocker.

 The problem is that sage_wraps reads the sources of to-be-wrapped
 functions and methods. The sources are stored as an attribute to the
 wrapper, which, on the one hand, is a waste of memory. Worse: Reading the
 Cython sources is impossible for sage-on-gentoo. Therefore, sage can't
 start.

 My patch introduces some lightweight classes, that simply store a
 reference to an object (e.g., the to-be-wrapped function) and return the
 sources or source lines or the argument list ''only when called''.

 Apply only [attachment:trac11734_sage_wraps_no_sourceread_lambda.patch] to
 the Sage library.
