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:

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

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
