I've tried to build 4.5.3.alpha0 on 't2' as a 64-bit application. It needs 4
updated .spkg files, but will at least build. But fails to execute properly when
started.

Previous versions of Sage have built 64-bit SPARC, though they needed even more
.spkg files, since several important Solaris updates were merged in
4.5.3.alpha0. However, I don't have a record of what versions of Sage would
work, though I know 4.5.0 would, given a sufficient number of new .spkg files.

The error message seems related to M4RI, though I don't think that's been
updated recently.
