    By the way, shouldn't Sage be a little faster on my Amstrad PC1512?

In fact I just wanted to get rid of the dirty piece of code in sage spkg
install script and hoped that nobody would actually answer on sage-devel
so that the removal gets undetected.


How about changing

    # 32bit apple darwin doesn't like our PIC format asm code
    case $host in
core2-apple-darwin* | penryn-apple-darwin*) path="x86/applenopic/core2 x86/applenopic" ;; prescott-apple-darwin* | pentium4-apple-darwin*) path="x86/applenopic" ;; pentium3-apple-darwin* | pentium2-apple-darwin*) path="x86/applenopic" ;; i686-apple-darwin* | pentiumpro-apple-darwin*) path="x86/applenopic" ;; core-apple-darwin*) path="x86/applenopic" ;;
        *)                                                      ;;
    esac

to just

    # 32bit apple darwin doesn't like our PIC format asm code
    case $host in
core2-apple-darwin* | penryn-apple-darwin*) path="x86/applenopic/core2 x86/applenopic" ;; *-apple-darwin*) path="x86/applenopic" ;;
        *)                                                      ;;
    esac

? (As far as I can see, the above snippet is in the x86/x86_64 (and 32-bit OS/ABI) branch, so we don't have to deal with other archs than these there.)

Otherwise the build will (sooner or later) fail in exactly the same way on newer CPUs on 32-bit Darwin.

Btw, it would probably be better to use the applenopic/core2 path on any post-Core2 CPU as well. Then we'd have to invert the logic, such that the x86/applenopic/core2 path is *not* chosen / added on i[34567]86-|pentium*-|prescott-|core- (all with 'apple-darwin*' appended), but on everything else, hoping that the former list is complete. (We won't have to add CPUs to that list as time goes by, in contrast to the post-Core2 list.)


For the sake of Sage, it's probably better to patch MPIR 2.6.0's 'configure' (i.e., the *generated* file) rather than 'configure.in' (autoreconfing afterwards, which usually causes lots of file changes) until 2.6.1 (with such a fix) is out.
