To encourage porting efforts to Lion, I setup a computer with the
latest OS and XCode 4.1 on it.
I made an account for you:

    ballombe@sqrt5.cs.washington.edu

It's actually exactly the same credentials you had for
bsd.math.washington.edu, with your files from there:

By the way, Mike Hansen was able to build the PARI that is in Sage
(along with its dependency MPIR) on this machine and it works:

wstein@sqrt5:/Users/mhansen/sage-4.7.1.rc1$ ./sage -gp
                                      GP/PARI CALCULATOR Version 2.4.3
(development svn-12623)
                                    i386 running darwin
(x86-64/GMP-5.0.1 kernel) 64-bit version
                      compiled: Jul 26 2011, gcc-4.2.1 (Based on Apple
Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2335.15.00)
                                           (readline v6.1 enabled,
extended help enabled)
