Created attachment 384816 [details, diff] patch to dev-libs/ntl-6.1.0 to produce a working ebuild for dev-libs/ntl-6.2.1 ntl 6.2.0 and then quickly 6.2.1 have been released in the past months. It has changed to use libtool to build shared and static libraries. It obsoletes the previous patches we had to enable the building of shared libraries. It was also a pain to make it behave so it would respect the "static-libs" use flag. Other inconvenient, we had set the soname and library name to be libntl.so.${PV} (on linux, it is of course different on macos) upstream has now set it up to libntl.so.5.0.0. Let's just they know what they are doing with that number in the future. This version of ntl also breaks sci-mathematics/flint. A pull request has been sent to flint upstream already.
