Two problems:
1). share/calculus/pdiff.tex is missing -> Maxima book can't be build.
2). RC1 doesn't build on SBCL 0.8.9.55 - some defsystem problem:
debugger invoked on a SB-KERNEL:READER-PACKAGE-ERROR in thread 5078:
READER-ERROR at 165900 (line 3840, column 35) on #<FILE-STREAM
for "file
\"/home/vadim/RPM/BUILD/maxima-5.9.0.9rc1/lisp-utils/defsystem.lisp\""
{9024519}>:
Symbol "WITHOUT-PACKAGE-LOCKS" not found in the SB-EXT package.
fatal error encountered in SBCL pid 5078:
%PRIMITIVE HALT called; the party is over.
The system is too badly corrupted or confused to continue at the Lisp
level. If the system had been compiled with the SB-LDB feature, we'd drop
into the LDB low-level debugger now. But there's no LDB in this build, so
we can't really do anything but just exit, sorry.
