Hi, on my PPC Mac with OS X 10.4 and 550MHz / 768 MB RAM, building Sage takes about a day, doctests take even longer (with many timeouts and memory problems, e.g. "maxima could not be started" and such). On this machine, one can't even upgrade to OS X 10.5, since at least 800 MHz would be needed (the OS X installer checks this somehow). So in order to use a current Sage on a machine like this, one has no alternative to OS X 10.4. Sage-4.1.2.alpha4 did build fine, and seemed to work as good as than Sage-4.1.1 (which was an official delivery). I'll have at look at the above issues (mpfr's sage-check might have been broken for a longer time now).
