Answering my own question: it's this line from
spkg/build/prereq-1.0/configure{,.ac}
if test "x`file $SAGE_FORTRAN_LIB | grep 32-bit | grep \"dynamic lib\" `"
= 'x'
Having set my path up to get GNU make, it was also picking up a different
version of `file' which says "shared object" instead of "dynamic lib".
Moving on ...

I guess we could change the call to "file" to /usr/bin/file. I suspect
the "file" command will be in /usr/bin on any platform.
I'd vote yes for this. The tests are already "if test "x`uname`" =
'xSunOS' ... " so it doesn't matter about other platforms. I'm sure a
lot of other people are running Ian Darwin's file command (we need it
for mail scanning). You can't just look for "dynamic lib|shared object"
because Ian Darwin's file says "symbolic link to ..." and you need to
use "file -L" to follow the link (which /usr/bin/file doesn't support).
Cheers,
Rob
