Which packages need those? All spkgs have a prebuild configure - or at
least should - especially because MacOSX has rather old autotools
(last time I checked at least)

That sounds about right. We had problems earlier with an older bison &
the Singular 3.0.3

To quote ticket #327: "In sage base check of prerequisites should also
check for perl 5.8. According to Kevin Buzzard, building maxima using
perl 5.6 fails with this error, but upgrading to perl 5.8 resolves the
problem:"
That seems to be a rather stringent requirement to build Maxima. Can
anybody confirm the problem with perl 5.6? Especially if perl 5.0
works.

There used to be the need for a gnu patch, but that was fixed due to
Solaris's patch being retarded. Now we no longer need patch.
