scipy_sandbox does not exit if there are build failures, but spkg-install looks OK

[sagetrac-drkirkby]

Building Sage 4.5 on a Sun Blade 2000, with dual UltraSPARC III+ processors in 64-bit mode, the build process produces some obvious error messages when building scipy_sandbox-20071020.p5. These are not warnings, but errors.

wrong ELF class: messages mean an attempt was made to link a mixture of 32-bit and 64-bit object files.

But the build process still goes on to report that scipy_sandbox-20071020.p5 has installed OK.

What is odd, is that spkg-install looks to be OK to me.

python setup.py install

if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
    echo "Error building arpack \n"
    exit 1
fi

cd ..
cd delaunay
python setup.py install

if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
    echo "Error building delaunay triangulation code \n"
    exit 1
fi

Has anyone got any ideas? Could it be that the _configtest tries various ways to compile, so despite these being errors, this is actually OK? I somewhat doubt that is the case, but I don't know.

Like a very similar issue with scipy (#9519), I'm not sure if this is an upstream bug or not. I suspect it is.

This spkg is now only in the list of archived packages, so we're all done.
