Comment(by benjaminfjones):

 Even though Maxima builds when we force ECL to compile under GCC-4.3 on
 silius, the resulting Sage installation has *lots* of doctest errors. See
 the [http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/bjones/ptestlong.log
 ptestlong.log] file.

 At a glance, there are a couple different errors happening:

  1. OverflowError: value too large to convert to int (may have to do with
 the architecture?)
  2. A couple of `NameError`s in `optimize.py` and `pushout.py`

 {{{
 File "/tmp/bjones/sage-4.7.2.alpha2/devel/sage-
 main/sage/numerical/optimize.py", line 571:
     sage: fit[a], fit[b], fit[c]
 Exception raised:
     Traceback (most recent call last):

     sage: fit[a], fit[b], fit[c]
     NameError: name 'fit' is not defined
 }}}

  3. mpfr errors: `RuntimeError: Aborted`
  4. many ` ValueError: Refining interval that does not bound unique root!`
 type errors from the elliptic curves modules

 etc..
