sys-proclaim.lisp is supposed to be automatically generated, but
sometimes gcl fails to generate it, so that's why there is a copy
of it in cvs, I guess. Or something like that -- the purpose of
sys-proclaim.lisp in Maxima cvs has never been clear to me.

A couple of things to try -- (1) cvs update -C src/sys-proclaim.lisp
(to get the cvs version, without merging local modifications which
are made automatically by gcl). (2) rm src/sys-proclaim.lisp;
touch src/sys-proclaim.lisp (start with empty file and see if gcl
can generate it).

Sorry I can't be more helpful,
