New description:
Some Sage packages want to run `autoconf`/`autoheader`/`automake` during
installation. This may fail, since `auto$foo` is not a prerequisite of
Sage. Usually, the build still works but in some cases, this may cause
the build to fail (this happens for example with `ecm-6.3.p3` on the
Skynet machine "iras"). This can usually be fixed by fixing timestamps
and/or not patching `configure.in`, only `configure` itself.
Packages which need to be fixed:
* cddlib: [http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/jdemeyer/spkg/cddlib-
094f.p11.spkg]
* ecm:
[http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/jdemeyer/spkg/ecm-6.3.p4.spkg]
* gd:
[http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/jdemeyer/spkg/gd-2.0.35.p7.spkg]
* libm4rie:
[http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/jdemeyer/spkg/libm4rie-20111004.p2.spkg]
* maxima
* pynac:
[http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/jdemeyer/spkg/pynac-0.2.3.p1.spkg]
Once this ticket is merged, the release management script should be
changed to check for these issues.
