Not really. I checked lmdcls.lisp and it still contains the offending form

#+ecl
(eval-when (:load-toplevel)
  (defun make-unspecial (s)
    (when (symbolp s)
      (ffi::c-inline (s) (:object) :object
                     "((#0)->symbol.stype = stp_ordinary, #0)"
                     :one-liner t))))

When I apply the patches attached (is it the same one I sent you last
time?), from inside maxima/src, the build succeeds on a machine where
it previously did not -- actually with the same error mesage you
printed.

I recommend configuring with --enable-gengc. It does not change the
behavior of ECL, just tells the garbage collector library to use the
generational algorithm.
