Bug#474909: Build maxima with sbcl for lenny?

[David Bremner <bremner@unb.ca>]

Package: maxima
Version: 5.13.0-3.1
Followup-For: Bug #474909


Maybe this is the same bug as #467474? At least it looks the same to me.
    
Although the build failure happens in a slightly different place for me, I still
have a FTBFS with gcl 2.6.7-36.1 and gcc 4.3.1-2.  It now seems to 
die the first time gcl is called

    gcl -batch -eval '(progn (load "../lisp-utils/defsystem.lisp")
    (compiler::emit-fn t) (funcall (intern (symbol-name
    :operate-on-system) :mk) "maxima" :compile :verbose t)
    (compiler::make-all-proclaims "*/*.fn" "*/*/*/*.fn"))' && \ gcl
    -batch -eval '(progn (load "../lisp-utils/defsystem.lisp")
    (funcall (intern (symbol-name :operate-on-system) :mk) "maxima"
    :load :verbose t) (when (fboundp (quote si::sgc-on))(si::sgc-on
    t)) (si:save-system "binary-gcl/maxima"))'

    Warning: REQUIRE is being redefined.  
    /bin/sh: line 1: 15042
    Segmentation fault 
    gcl -batch -eval '(progn (load
    "../lisp-utils/defsystem.lisp") (compiler::emit-fn t) (funcall
    (intern (symbol-name :operate-on-system) :mk) "maxima" :compile
    :verbose t) (compiler::make-all-proclaims "*/*.fn" "*/*/*/*.fn"))'

On the other hand, if I specify ./configure --enable-sbcl && make &&
make check it seems to be OK.

What do people think about building maxima with sbcl for lenny?  I
read that it is supposed be not as fast, but I can't compare since
with sbcl the testsuite takes about 40s (Thinkpad X61s, core 2 duo
1.6GHz), while the gcl version (binary package from sid) crashes with
seg fault half way through.

I have the feeling Camm (the maintainer) is really busy right now, but
if you could OK the idea of building maxima with sbcl for lenny, that
would be great.
