Uhh... that's not quite right. You want
./bootstrap
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/stow/maxima
make
You aren't the first person to miss the bootstrap file. I just added a

I get no errors** with gcl HEAD as of today. Please try
make distclean
./bootstrap
./configure...
and see if that solves your problem.
**OK, I get only known errors in a couple of tests.
