As a general question to the list:

I understand that sage is designed to be built by just typing make on
any platform. Is there a general problem when people use compilers
other than gcc and, it seems, a particular gcc version? The following
have been my casual experience.

Attempts to build sage 4.0 on ia64 SLES10SP1 failed using the  intel
compiler. Problems with gmp-mpir were overcome by unloading the Intel
compiler module from my shell ( icc 9.1.051). gcc 4,1,2 was then used
on all compiles and it then sailed on happily until polybori when that
failed,

[The ia64 issues have not been high on the list of priorities because
I do not have a need for my model to run on that architecture. I had a
test box I had reassembled and wanted to exercise it so a sage test
build seemed like a good idea.]
