 Replying to [comment:2 mjo]:
 > Same comment as on ratpoints: I think we should avoid adding patches
 unless absolutely necessary.

 Lcalc is a special case in many ways (cf. my reply on #12682), and we have
 to patch the Makefile anyway (since there's still no `configure`, and
 therefore the Makefile is supposed to get edited).

 Michael Rubinstein would certainly be happy if we sent him some generic
 solution, but so far nobody found the time for such, as mentioned.

 report that upstream too.)

 We already did so, IIRC...
 Btw., haven't yet looked at the 1.3 (beta) version, which I think is still
 work in progress.
 We can certainly contribute to that, although e.g. Jeroen rejected to make
 patches more upstream-friendly, i.e. generic (w.r.t. supporting different
 PARI versions).  Also took me some time to convince people to use `-lgmp`
 instead of `-lmpir`.
