How do I compile Maxima with debugging information?

I would suggest to debug it within lisp session of maxima which is  started 
after to_lisp(). This could give you all the power of underlying lisp 
debugger. I've personnaly never tried it. Probably it is a wrong advice
Sorry if it's the case.

best luck,
Valery
