If someone has a few minutes, this should be an easy review, though you will probably have to accept what I say when I say it works.

There's a problem building GNU patch on AIX. The patch at

http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/10979

just adds 4 lines to spkg-install, which disables debug information just on AIX. That's all there is too it.


if [ "x$UNAME" = xAIX ] ; then
   CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -g0"
   export CFLAGS
fi

Perhaps someone can review the ticket. I doubt you will have access to an AIX system, but the ticket shows the error message and the successful build after the change.
