I've made a p6 spkg with further fixes and improvements, now also working around the GCC 4.7.0 bug on ia64 (Itanium).

(See attached diffs and the spkg changelog entry in the description for details.)

    v1 v14  
     1GCC 4.7.0 is broken on ia64 (Itanium), which also affects the GMP-ECM spkg (cf. #12751).

    15Adding `-march=native` to `CFLAGS` may lead to assembler errors, e.g. on MacOS X with newer GCCs on newer CPUs (e.g. such supporting AVX, which Apple's assembler currently doesn't).

     16=== ecm-6.3.p6 (Leif Leonhardy, April 16th 2012) === 
     17 * #12830: Add a work-around for GCC 4.7.x on ia64 (Itanium), since GMP-ECM 
     18   currently won't build with that and anything but `-O0` on that platform. 
     19 * Use `\{1,\}` instead of `\+` in `sed` patterns, which is more portable. 
     20 * Also support newer system-wide MPIR installations for printing their 
     21   settings. 
     22 * Use `patch` to apply patches.  Since the pre-patched `configure` in 
     23   `patches/` was created with a newer version of autotools (or, rather, the 
     24   original `configure` was created with an outdated version), the patch would 
     25   have been almost as large as the patched `configure` file itself.  Hence 
     26   I `autoreconf`ed the source tree with a patched `configure.in` (and almost 
     27   the latest versions of autotools), then created a patch to `configure` 
     28   from the resulting file(s).  Note that therefore `src/` isn't really vanilla 
     29   any more, although just the auto-generated files differ (which are still 
     30   made from vanilla upstream sources, including `configure.in`). 
     31   Add a "Patches" subsection and update "Special Update/Build Instructions". 
     32   Remove files in `patches/` from `.hgignore` (and also remove pre-patched 
     33   files from that directory); the patch to `configure` and the diff of 
     34   `configure.in` are [now] under revision control, which IMHO makes sense. 
     35 * Beautify (and simplify) the output with respect to options passed to 
     36   `configure`; print the settings of a few more environment variables that 
     37   GMP-ECM uses (in case they're set); add some messages, also mention 
     38   `--enable-assert` etc. if `SAGE_DEBUG=yes`. 
     39 * Remove unused test for GCC.
