Dear Erik Madison, What setup would you like to test this patch ? My "everyday" machines do have routinely matched gcc, g++,and gfortran packages : in such a setup, the test would be useless, since gfortnat wouldn't be installed.
Would a Debian virtual machine bearing the minimum dependencies described in the Install guide give a correct test environment ? Do you wish to (try to) force Sage compilers' installation (ISTR that there are some MALE targets allowing that). Would that be significant for you ? Do you need both Python2 and Python3 testing ?
