I would assume that is correct. I didn't actually write any of the code
for NTL 5.5; Victor did all the work there. That said, I thought his
intention was to not require GNU make as he mentioned it as one of his
goals when discussing with me; I guess that was only important when
SHARED=off.
Looking at the code there just seems to be one GNUism in the makefile:
$(OBJ:.o=.lo). This is probably removable with a bit of work.
One could fix the LIBTOOL=glibtool problem by adding a check for OS X to
NTL's wizard.

Work on both of those was early. But I didn't write the patch for
polybori that was merged; that was done by the upstream developers using
some scons options.

Sure, I can do that. Just to be super clear, you want me to do this for
all such contact, not just cddlib, right?

Yes, I was able to get iml upstream to do a release with the relevant
code; it was just a problem for me at the time.

Right, I should expect to have a sampling bias problem where I only notice
when the patches don't end up upstream promptly :)
