I'm building without the sse2 use flag now. I'll put the logs up
somewhere if/when it fails.

I just pushed some more changes to bitbucket. The latest version builds
on a 32-bit debian squeeze machine. I will also try it on other linux
variants I find.

I am hoping to get away without installing autotools, at least on
platforms Sage doesn't need them. Using the gentoo wrappers for
auto{conf,make} were enough for debian. It seems the debian autoconf
wrapper chooses the older version by default whereas gentoo picks the newer 
one. :)


This tarball should also solve Volker's problem where ntl couldn't find
gf2x. I realized that I completely misunderstood what exactly the
compilerwrapper does. After all it was necessary to add the include and
library paths to CFLAGS. I plan to patch compilerwrapper in the future
to do this itself.

Cheers,
Burcin
