Old description:

New description:

 There are two problems with the current spkg on Cygwin:
 * -lgmp should come after -lntl and -lpari, I fixed this in configure.ac
 * the executables names in tests/Makefile.am should finish with $(EXEEXT),
 fixed there as well.

 Then I reran autogen.sh from upstream, deleted autom4te.cache and
 repackaged, versioned, commented everything.

 Patched spkg available at
 http://perso.telecom-paristech.fr/~flori/sage/eclib-20120428.p0.spkg

 Nevertheles, I think it would be better to repack a new release of eclib
 including such changes to prevent the inclusion of the patches and the hg
 history which make the spkg size explode.

 Updated spkg available at:
 http://perso.telecom-paristech.fr/~flori/sage/eclib-20120428.p0.spkg

 Although I'd prefer package an updated upstream version including such
 fixes.
 John, could you update eclib ggoglecode repo?
 If you're convinced the changes I propose are useful...
 At least, they seem harmless on Linux and let the spkg build on Cygwin.
