Nope, the confiure script in patches is old and during the update that
was not fixed.

Sure, all you need is a script called spkg-install that builds the
package and install is into $SAGE_LOCAL.

Yes, I suspected something similar.

Thanks for poking around :)
As is I am working on two blockers, i.e.#3508 (GMP fixes) and #3486
(NTL with csh and gcc 4.3 broken) before releasing Sage 3.0.4.alpha1
and a couple more fixes I am currently merging and testing.
You can find details to the tickets at
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/3508
for example. If you want a trac account just write me an email off
list.
Cheers,
Michael
