Yes, well done.

I had a copy of GNU make (gmake) copied to
/usr/local/bin-for-sage/make That was failing to run. When I copied
/usr/bin/gmake to  /usr/local/bin-for-sage/make, so it works.

Since Sage needs GNU make, and Solaris ships with an incompatible
'make' command, one must copy the GNU version (gmake on Solaris) to
somewhere. and put that in the path before the Sun version.

Of course, in an ideal world one could build Sage by use of 'gmake'
directly, but some parts have the command name 'make' hard-coded.

I've now started to run the tests. Since this is only a 2 GHz dual
core laptop, and I want some CPU power for other tasks, I'm not going
to run the parallel tests.

Normally on my workstation (3.33 GHz quad core hyperthreaded Xeon), I
can run all the tests in under half an hour, but I think it will take
much longer on this machine.

So far (after 5-minutes of testing), there are no failures.
