> Can flint (and possibly sage) be built without ntl after this update? i read somewhere that ntl might not be necessary anymore, and this would ease the burden of cross compiling.

I think flintlib is already cross-compiled.

As for eclib, it lists `ntl-devel` in makedepends. Have you tried building it cross without `ntl-devel`? If it works, we can just add a build option ntl that is disabled by default in cross builds. However, I think that `eclib` actually uses `ntl` for some things.

As for sagemath, I think it has a few more nocross makedepends. The comment in the template list some; including flintlib, but I'm not sure this is a mistake. It's possible that sagemath needs a flintlib that was built with ntl.
