Dear Sage and Sage-Combinat developers,
With Mike and Anne we are about to finalize an interface with lrcalc:
I've used lrcalc extensively in the past and I am very impressed with
it. I vote:
[ X ] A standard spkg

I thought it had been agreed no package would be standard unless it is first
optional.
I tried compiling this on OpenSolaris. It builds with a couple of warnings about
variables set but never used. There's no test code in the source code, but I
tried a few of the examples in the README file and they gave the same output.
The authors are using the compiler flag -O6, with an obvious intension of
getting maximum optimisation. I'm not sure what happens in a case like that. It
is not a gcc supported option
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.6.1/gcc/Optimize-Options.html#Optimize-Options
so it might break on future release of gcc if the GCC developers tighten up on
the compiler options, which they have done recently. Until gcc 4.6.0, the
compiler option -KPIC was ignored by gcc, as it's an option used by the Sun
compiler. But now gcc 4.6 actually exits with an error if that option is given.
It would certainly be worth discussing with the developers of the package why
they use -O6, when it's not supported by gcc.
