In fact, it does not give the right answers any more. Actually, it does not give any results at all since it does not compile with the newest gcc. If there is any hope of the author addressing any issues we find then I'm sure we can review the lcalc source. In many ways this would be the preferred way of improving the lcalc spkg. But from a cursory glance it seems like it would be a non-trivial task to refactor it into standard-compliant C++. And I agree that we should communicate with the author politely. I was addressing the Sage developers that use lcalc, and I think that its allowable to use a more colloquial tone in that case.
