That would not be possible. First, we need a patch for the flint2 port to link to ntl in the first place. Then we can find a way to make this an option and only then the question can be answered if the option should be default-on or -off. > The main setback with this option on is that libflint.so file will be > bigger in size (probably because C++-related ABI is not too small), > but we're talking about extra 10-15 Mb or so. That does not look like a major problem.
