I wouldn't call this show-stopping, but I don't have clisp or cmulisp
installed, and rc1 didn't seem very happy about it.
Here's the end of ./configure and the make

  Summary:
  GCL enabled. Executable name gcl
  default lisp: gcl
  ~/maxima-5.9.0rc1 $ make
  Making all in src
  make[1]: Entering directory `/home/belanger/maxima-5.9.0rc1/src'
  make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/home/belanger/maxima-5.9.0rc1/src/clisp-depends.mk', needed by `/home/belanger/maxima-5.9.0rc1/src/Makefile.in'.  Stop.
  make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/belanger/maxima-5.9.0rc1/src'
  make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
  ~/maxima-5.9.0rc1 $ 

(I'm running the RedHat beta null, so it's possible this is a null
problem rather than a maxima problem.)
Once I touched up the configure and Makefiles, it worked great.
