Comment (by jdemeyer):

 Replying to [comment:11 vbraun]:
 > `SAGE_FAT_BINARY` should be synonymous with `SAGE_GENERIC_BINARY`,
 though for historical reasons it isn't named well. From
 http://www.sagemath.org/doc/installation/source.html:
 >
 > SAGE_FAT_BINARY - to prepare a binary distribution that will run on the
 widest range of target machines, set this variable to "yes"
 >
 > I think right now you don't remove advanced `CFLAGS` on linux platfroms
 if `SAGE_FAT_BINARY` is set.

 MPIR actually does support "fat binaries" in the true sense on x86
 systems: building a library with code for different processors,
 determining at run-time which one to use.
