Today I made some experimental builds in a Mandriva computer where I have sagemath-4.8 working, to update to use givaro 3.5.0 and linbox 1.2.2. It is required significant extra patches to fully build sagemath, and a new patch is not yet complete, but by doing this, I will have a better idea of viability of using linbox 1.2.2, or patching linbox 1.1.6 to use newer givaro. Once done the test build, I will see what breaks in sage doctests, hopefully nothing, or just require trivial patches, and then it should be easier to get it integrated in sagemath. Too bad I am afraid it will not be in time for sagemath 5.0, kind like too late even if patches were available and known to work 3 months ago...
