Actually I wrote this ebuild from scratch because it is a dependency of
sci-mathematics/Macaulay2. If I remember correctly this is also in sage
somehow, right?

We also have all the dependencies + optional stuff for Macaulay2 in the
science overlay:

sci-m/polymake
sci-m/normaliz
sci-m/lattE-macchiato
sci-m/topcom
sci-m/4ti2
sci-m/frobby
sci-libs/libfac
sci-libs/factory
sci-libs/cdd+

All of these have corresponding bugs, let me know if some of them should
block sage.

regards,
Thomas

The fundamental theorem of algebra is open source. Like any other
mathematical theorem it can be applied free of charge and everybody
has access to its proof and can convince himself how it works. Why
should software be any different?
