Comment(by kcrisman):

 > So maybe the best solution in practice for Sage is to add a check in
 prereq that users aren't using Apple's broken compiler.
 ?  So that no one using "just Xcode" can build Sage?  I'm a little unclear
 on what would have to change for ordinary users.
 >Also we should have one server machine running Lion with a good compiler
 to build binaries.
 Certainly.

 jhpalmieri points out on #12315 (where these comments should probably live
 anyway)
 > was pointed out  on sage-devel that with SAGE_DEBUG=True, self-tests
 pass. So it may be a compiler error; compiling with -O0 seems to work. It
 may be just a single file (the one containing the bezout function) causing
 the problems.
 So perhaps a workaround would be to check for the "bad" compiler in the
 spkg-install somehow and then do no optimization if that's the case.
 Power users who need Pari optimized would be expected to have the
 technical know-how to use the right one, and as you say the binary builder
 could have this as well.
