Oops, sorry. I thought I was using GCL but I was not. In fact, I can no
longer build Maxima with GCL. In the current release candidate I get the
following error:
Compiling /home/villate/cvs/maxima/maxima-5_14_0/src/nregex.lisp.
End of Pass 1.
End of Pass 2.
binary-gcl/nregex.c:174:18: error: math.h: No such file or directory
binary-gcl/nregex.c:269:20: error: setjmp.h: No such file or directory

The version I'm using is:
GCL (GNU Common Lisp) 2.6.8 ANSI Aug 2 2007 17:12:54
