What would be a good way for a new mac mini owner to help fix the Xcode 4 build problems for Sage? Those of us who just bought our first macs after the Lion release have Xcode 4 by default. I don't see any reason to back off to Xcode 3, as the Sage (4.7.2.alpha2) config urges.
There's no specific trac for an Xcode 4 port, either. Should someone create one? Meanwhile I really think it would be a good idea to have Sage build seamlessly from source on the new default mac configurations, i.e., Lion/Xcode4, and I'd like to help any way I can. Let me know what I can fix or test or whatever.
