Three problems with beta 2:

1) I can't build Maxima book since
doc/maximabook/share/calculus is missing.

2) sbcl build is broken probably due to recent
sys-diclaim/proclaim changes:

make[1]: *** No rule to make target `SYS-DECLAIM.lisp', needed by 
`binary-sbcl/maxima.core'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/vadim/RPM/BUILD/maxima-5.9.0.9beta2/src'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

3) I also observe rtest15 hang
GCL 2.6.3 on Linux.
