Hi,

That would be me and T. Abott. I have an alternative set up that was
more flexible and allowed non-gld linker, which is the main issue in this
case. I remember posting some patch at the time on debian-sage.
I will have to check if they can still be applied to the latest version of
ntl.
The thread on debian-sage is here:

I am a bit busy at the moment otherwise I could give you the details
of it works.

Francois
