> What is required of a reviewer? I have no idea what is going on with
these gcc issues. But I successfully built the spkg on 4.8.alpha6 on a
64-bit ubuntu machine; and not being sure what the relevant things to
test are I am testing sage/schemes/elliptic_curves since I know that some
sympow is used in there.

Well, in addition to the platforms where Sympow previously ''caused''
trouble (those with [optional] non-standard floating-point and/or MAC/FMA
instructions), the new spkg should also (still) work on more common
platforms, so testing it on the latter doesn't hurt either.
Perhaps you could give more details w.r.t. the processor and your Ubuntu
version; GCC 4.3.3 smells like Ubuntu 9.04. Otherwise -- if your time
allows -- you could run a full test (`ptestlong`) with a recent Sage
version and the new spkg here.
According to `deps`, only the Sage library depends on Sympow, so you don't
have to rebuild any other spkgs. (You could do a `./sage -ba-force` after
installing the new spkg, but this shouldn't be necessary.)

I don't think there's anything we (at least me) could or should ask Mark,
but Jeroen will know better.
