Hi,
I have been away for a while, so I am late to pipe in here: The
decision to just plain out refuse to build with MacPorts and/or Fink
in path was the result of tracking down a large number of mysterious
build issues over the last couple months which in the end were cause
in many cases by MacPorts and/or Fink. Many times the root cause for a
build failure is non-obvious and especially for upgraded builds or
updates from binaries rather exciting things go wrong. Since I am the
guy who ends up cleaning up the mess I will tell you that the refusal
is the only way to go. David Havey's memory about "make" always
working for him is hazy by the way since his Fink cause a clisp doc
related build failure (#3478).

We can go with something like that above, but that will also make some
people unhappy if we use it in sage-env. The issue is at build and
usually not at run time.
