I just wanted to add that we had no trouble at all building a giac
package for Sage using your release 0.9.0 version of Giac.   So
whatever you were doing for that build was good.

In case you're curious, the giac-0.9.0 I made is here:

  http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/wstein/tmp/giac-0.9.0.spkg

It's just a bzip2'd tarball:

    tar jxvf giac-0.9.0.spkg

to see inside.
