I have recently built 6.4.1 from sources on three different computers. One of the compilations crashed while building the ncurses package. I was able to trace this to a "cd man" command issued during the build process. What happened was that my cdpath on that machine pointed to a directory which had a subdirectory named "man". Setting CDPATH='' cured the issue, proving that the "cd man" was being trumped by my cdpath. Evidently one would have to replace it with something fixed relative to the build tree, at least "cd ./man" I think. I hope somebody more adept with Sage development than me can take it from here. Note that it is not clear whether any package compiled after ncurses has a similar problem.
