  Ok. Worth mentioning is that in Mandriva I did also package several
optional "databases", see:

http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/pari/current/SPECS/pari.spec?revision=782755&view=markup

and it was already packaging gp2c that comes from an extra upstream
tarball.

  Also, I did build pari with --disable-tls, as I recall having issues with
it when building sagemath. Not sure if sage-on-gentoo also had issues
with it https://github.com/cschwan/sage-on-gentoo but I recall some
problems they had that looked familiar to me, and I commented in
#sagemath about it some months ago.
