checking whether we are using GNU C... yes
People are likely to delete install.log at some point. It's also possible that
the system on which Sage is built is not the one on which it is run (obviously
the case if someone downloads a binary).
I can create a Python script to gather information on Red Hat and Debian
based systems about hardware. As for OS-X, Solaris, BSD and *gasp* installs
under Cygwin or similar, I have little idea. I also am not sure how to
proceed in a consistent manner for other non-RH/D-based Linux systems like
Slackware.

I'm not much of a Python programmer, but if you can make available your code for
Redhat and Debian, I'm sure I could use it as a template and just substitute the
Solaris commands.
Here's some of the information the SystemInformationData for Mathematica gives.
Some of these things could be useful.

I'd like to see the value of exp(1.0), as that tends to change on different
platforms.
I think the build directory for would be useful, along with the current install
directory. There are certainly some issues that happen if the Sage install
directory is moved, with paths not being updated.
With Solaris on SPARC. it will be able to get the model number of the system -
at least to a certain degree. Machines like the Sun Blade 1000 and 2000 I own
have the same motherboard, so a 2000 displays itself as a 1000. There are a few
like that, but on the whole its possible to get the exact model, or at least
something which is very similar.
I suspect something that one can get easily on one platform may be very hard on
another.
That little memconf tools is cool. See on my system it know that one of the 2 GB
memory modules is made by Nanya Technology, and the other 5 by Micron. (I bought
the machine with 2 GB from Sun, and bought the other 10 GB at a lot less than
Sun wanted for RAM).
