Subject: Further notes on compiling Maxima under RH 8

The compile using gcl runs to completion after renaming the file
zero.lisp and replacing it with an empty file. This is no big deal since
that file badly implements the zeroequiv function, which should be
changed anyway.
Running the test suite gives
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/maxima/tests'
echo "Running test suite with gcl..."; \
/bin/sh ../maxima-local --lisp=gcl --batch-lisp=tests.lisp >
tests-gcl.log < /dev/null 2>&1; \
./summarize-log tests-gcl.log
Running test suite with gcl...
*** Summary results for tests recorded in
*** log file tests-gcl.log:
Unknown error in log file
Expected failures (known bugs in this version of Maxima):
rtest15.mac: (4)
tail tests-gcl.log gives
..Which was correct
/* ********************** Problem 136. *************** */
%Input is
(KILL(ALL), EXAMPLE(ZEROEQUIV))
(C1) ZEROEQUIV(SIN(2*X)-2*SIN(X)*COS(X),X)
Unrecoverable error: invocation history stack overflow.

The resulting maxima and xmaxima seem perfectly usable (at least for
what I do with them)
