power management:
The other thing that might be special is that this laptop has an OS
that has been continually updated since at least Jaunty, if not earlier;
the same disk has moved from one Thinkpad model to the next: T20,T23,T41.
So my system has a lot of history. It even once had Sage installed
and working from Debian packages, but I had to remove it due to lack
of space. I recently repartitioned to get breathing room in sys, so
that is why I am trying to install it again.

The failures are replicable. However, since I have been just re-running
the make on the same directory for some time, I will, just for tidiness,
create a new fresh build directory, install the two packages there, and
run a make on that.
Dima helped me make some progress; I added the readline-6.2.p2.spkg which
got me past the first tranch of problems; then I applied your suggestion
and added ecl-11.1.2.cvs20111120.p0.spkg.

I will send you the current install.log now however, so you do not have
to wait for 5-6 hours for the de novo build to occur.

The md5sum for my tar here:
b3073997e6c7ec00a269f84ff2e54973 sage-4.7.2.tar
which matches up with the one on the webpage:
