(Your servers were renewed recently, so this was a first attempt to build sage on it.) Meanwhile, I got sage compiled by changing the configure line in spkg- install of mpfi-1.3.4-rc3.p9 to ./configure --prefix="$SAGE_LOCAL" --with-mpfr-dir="$SAGE_LOCAL" CFLAGS="-fPIC" > gzipping the install.log and putting it up somewhere for us to > download would probably help a great bit.
