I think it should mean: Sage works using the *default* options, assuming
the documented prerequisites are met. If you manually set
SAGE_INSTALL_GCC or CFLAGS or whatever, don't expect it to work.
What are "default options"? As mentioned, the build on Solaris SPARC is
borken if just GCC is reasonably configured -- no need to set CFLAGS,
SAGE_INSTALL_GCC, or the latter plus GCC_CONFIGURE.
Just as an example, #14265 (which solves a regression) shows that
apparently nobody ever tested building Sage on Solaris* with GCC 4.7.x
after #13237 got merged -- i.e., since Sage 5.4.beta0 (!), released
September 10th 2012 (about half a year after GCC 4.7.0 had been
released, about three months after GCC 4.7.1 had been released, and a
few days before GCC 4.7.2 got released).
