spkg-configure.m4 to be copied under build/pkgs/gc

Attachment: spkg-configure.m4.gz

With the attached spkg-configure.m4, it works for me on FreeBSD, and Sage uses the system package.

Note: ATM the FreeBSD system package is at v.8.0.4 (boehm-gc-threaded-8.0.4_1), and the pkg-config file is named bdw-gc-threaded.pc - this might be different on other systems.

It's bdw-gc.pc on Gentoo at least, so we should check that name too.

Replying to @orlitzky:

also on Debian and Fedora it is bdw-gc.

• on Debian on needs to install libgc-dev
• on Fedora one needs to install gc gc-devel

as can be seen on the GH Action logs from https://github.com/dimpase/sage/actions/runs/207790649 libgc is correctly recongnised - if it can be installed

On macOS Conda, libgc is not found:

LGTM, but can you just delete those conda.txt files rather than comment out their contents? If I'm looking for packages that need Gentoo information, I'm going to be checking for the existence of distros/gentoo.txt and assume that it's correct if present.

[dimpase]

comment:22

Thanks!

As to deleting, we already have quite a few of distros/foo.txt with commented out content, e.g. build/pkgs/arb/distros/homebrew.txt, so, no, the content of these files matters matters :-)

Looks like this may have caused the breakage reported in #30629 (wsl-ubuntu-focal: ECL build fails).

it appears that all the released versions of gc suffer from the problem at hand, no?

If I understand the issue correctly, it's a particular libgc configuration used on Ubuntu 20.04 that is the problem.
