OK, I have rebuilt ECL from CVS head (as of about 18:00 UTC today).
I built ECL with the --enable-smallcons flag and no others,
also tried it with no flags at all. Built it w/ GCC 3.3.2 on one system
and 3.4.6 on another.

I have applied and committed the most recent patch for Maxima which
you sent (patch-0.diff, dated 2008-06-23) to patches-for-ecl-branch.

However when I try to compile Maxima via (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op 'maxima)
it gets part way through and then fails on src/mforma.lisp.

Good news is that when interpreted, the Maxima test suite runs
to completion without unexpected errors.

Any advice? Maybe there are differences in your sandbox
with respect to patches-for-ecl-branch ? Maybe I missed a patch?

Thanks for your help,

Robert Dodier
