Comment(by strogdon):
Perhaps an explanation, which was pointed out to me by François, is in
order as to why the patch is needed here. I had previously built
sage-4.7.2.rc0 on a gentoo system without a problem. However, the build
process broke when done from within a gentoo prefix. On
gentoo PKG_CONFIG_PATH is not defined, by default, and thus there was no
problem. But from within gentoo prefix PKG_CONFIG_PATH is defined. Thus
the patch is needed there to prepend to PKG_CONFIG_PATH the sage paths so
the correct .pc files can be found.
