Unfortunately linbox won't build yet with GCC >= 4.2.0. The linbox developers are painfully aware of this, and it's evidently a nontrivial problem for them to fix. SAGE-2.7.2 (which I just uploaded moments ago) will build fine on Gentoo with GCC 4.1.x: http://sagemath.org/dist/src/ (There is an issue with building clisp with sage-2.7.1, which is fixed in 2.7.2.) Another option for you would be to just use a pre-built binary like one here (the Debian one would almost surely work on gentoo): http://sagemath.org/SAGEbin/linux/32bit/ Of course, being a Gentoo user, I'm sure you want to build from source :-). And of course, making it easy for anybody to build SAGE from source is one of the main points of SAGE. > On a related note, just about everything Sage uses is already in Gentoo > -- gap, givaro and linbox aren't, but gmp is, cln is, etc. Is there a > way one can build Sage to use the native libraries if they happen to be > present? Unfortunately, some of those packages have to be exactly the right version and sometimes patched in subtle ways to work correctly together and with SAGE (mathematics software is very sensitive to slight changes). That said, I fully expect some clever Gentoo packagers to deal with all such problems at some point and create some sort of minimal Gentoo SAGE build. It hasn't happened yet, but I'm very much looking forward to when it does. I probably won't personally work on it, since I'm not personally a Gentoo user, and I think it's better left to a Gentoo user.
